Subject: [(resend)patch 0/7] Notify page fault call chain
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 15:14:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060419221419.382297865@csdlinux-2.jf.intel.com> (raw)
Hi Andrew,
Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call
notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT, ...) to notify the page fault.
The only interested components for this page fault
notifications are Kprobes and/or kdb. Since
notify_die() is highly overloaded, this page fault
notification is currently being sent to other
components registered with register_die_notifier()
which uses the same die_chain to loop for all
the registered components.
In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path,
this critical page fault notification is now moved
to different call chain and the test results conducted
by Robin Holt showed great improvements.
Patches for i386, x86_64, ia64, powerpc and sparc64 follows this mail.
Please apply.
Thanks,
Anil Keshavamurthy
