[merged mm-stable] mm-batch-unlink_file_vma-calls-in-free_pgd_range.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: batch unlink_file_vma calls in free_pgd_range
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-batch-unlink_file_vma-calls-in-free_pgd_range.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: batch unlink_file_vma calls in free_pgd_range
Date: Wed, 22 May 2024 01:43:21 +0200

Execs of dynamically linked binaries at 20-ish cores are bottlenecked on
the i_mmap_rwsem semaphore, while the biggest singular contributor is
free_pgd_range inducing the lock acquire back-to-back for all consecutive
mappings of a given file.

Tracing the count of said acquires while building the kernel shows:
[1, 2)     799579 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@|
[2, 3)          0 |                                                    |
[3, 4)       3009 |                                                    |
[4, 5)       3009 |                                                    |
[5, 6)     326442 |@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@                               |

So in particular there were 326442 opportunities to coalesce 5 acquires
into 1.

Doing so increases execs per second by 4% (~50k to ~52k) when running
the benchmark linked below.

The lock remains the main bottleneck, I have not looked at other spots
yet.

Bench can be found here:
http://apollo.backplane.com/DFlyMisc/doexec.c

$ cc -O2 -o shared-doexec doexec.c
$ ./shared-doexec $(nproc)

Note this particular test makes sure binaries are separate, but the
loader is shared.

Stats collected on the patched kernel (+ "noinline") with:
bpftrace -e 'kprobe:unlink_file_vma_batch_process
{ @ = lhist(((struct unlink_vma_file_batch *)arg0)->count, 0, 8, 1); }'
