Hi,

This is v2 RFC. In v2 a lot problems found out by Sashiko were fixed and more
feature gaps were closed (please see the below changelog for the details).
Although there are still some open issues, for example, it just can support
48 bits VA (for 4K and 64K) and 47 bits VA (for 16K), KPTI support has not
been solved yet, etc, but I think the delta should be big enough and worth
a new RFC to gather comments in order to make sure I'm on the right track.

Some more benchmarks were done, for example, some latency related benchmarks
that I mentioned at LSFMM because I thought responsiveness should be improved
due to the removal of preempt_disable. Collected more PMU counters as well.
Please refer to the benchmark section for more details. 

Look forward to comments.


Changelog
v2: * Added 3-level and 2-level page table support.
    * Tested with 16K and 64K page size. But we just support 48 bits VA (4K
      and 64K) and 47 bits VA with 16K for now.  Please refer to the below
      "known issue" section for the detail reason.
    * Added support for memory hotplug.
    * Added support for KASAN (generic).
    * Treated percpu and local percpu area address as vmalloc address.
    * Fixed build failure for x86.
    * Fixed build failure for !CONFIG_NUMA.
    * Added KASAN support for local percpu area.
    * Some other misc bug fixes found out by Sashiko.
    * More code refactor and cleanup.
    * Regorganized the patches.
    * More benchmarks, refer to benchmark section for more details.
    * Rebased to v7.2-rc1.


Introduction
============
This patch series implemented the LSFMM 2026 proposal for optimizing
this_cpu_*() ops on ARM64. For the details of the proposal, Please refer to:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAHbLzkpcN-T8MH6=W3jCxcFj1gVZp8fRqe231yzZT-rV_E_org@mail.gmail.com/
I didn't repeat it in the cover letter because there is no change to the
proposal.

The series is based on 7.1-rc1. It is basically minimum viable patches.
There are still a few hacks in this series and it may break something,
for example, KPTI, SMT machines which shared TLB, etc. But it shoule be
good enough for now to demonstrate the core idea. The main purpose of the
RFC is to gather feedback, figure out missing parts and risks, and make sure
we are on the right track, as well as hopefully it can help the discussion
for the upcoming LSFMM.

I broke the patches down to arch-dependent and arch-independent parts so that
hopefully the interested persons can do experiments on other architectures,
for example, S390, easier.

A new kernel config is introduced, HAVE_LOCAL_PER_CPU_MAP. The architectures
which can support this feature will select it. Allocating and freeing percpu
local mapping is protected by this config so that others won't pay the cost.

 
Known Issues
============
1. KPTI
-------
We need determine what CPU we are on, then switch to the right page table.
Currently arm64 kernel fetches tramp_pg_dir via swapper_pg_dir - fixed_offset,
and fetches swapper_pg_dir from ttbr1. But ttbr1 may not hold swapper_pg_dir
anymore except CPU #0. So we need to figure out the other way to handle it.
Switching to tramp_pg_dir should be easy, but the reverse seems harder because
tramp_pg_dir just maps the trampoline vectors.
Maybe we can do two steps switch. Switch to swapper_pg_dir at the first step,
then switch to per cpu page table (for entry) or tramp page table (for exit).
Nobody should call this_cpu_*() at either userspace -> kernel entry stage or
kernel -> userspace exit stage.

2. SW PAN
---------
Has the similar issue as KPTI. It installs reserved_pg_dir to TTBR0 when running
in kernel space, but fetching reserved_pg_dir via swapper_pg_dir - fixed_offset.
Maybe we can save the physical address of swapper_pg_dir in a variable, then load
it from that variable instead of ttbr1.

3. Shared TLB machines
----------------------
Some machines may share TLB between CPUs, for example, SMT machines may share
TLB between the two hardware threads in one core.
The per cpu page table just can't work with it. Maybe we need a new
cpufeature to indicate whether per cpu page table is allowed or not. Then
just enable it for not-shared-TLB machines.

4. Don't support all VA bits
----------------------------
We just support 48 bits VA (4K and 64K) and 47 bits VA (16K) for now. For 4K
and 64K, supporting other VA bits is not hard, we just need to determine the
size for percpu and local percpu area.
But it is harder for supporting 48 bits VA + 16K page size. We just have two
top level kernel page table entries with this configuration, but we assume we
just need to sync up kernel page table at the top level for now. We need to
sync up kernel page table at the second level in order to support it. I'm not
sure whether it is worth it or not.


Benchmark
=========
The benchmarks are done on 160 core AmpereOne machine. The baseline is
v7.2-rc1 kernel.

1. Reduction of kernel text size
--------------------------------
The patchset can reduce at least 11 instructions for this_cpu_*() ops. Both
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() need 4 instructions to manipulate
the preempt count, and preempt_enable() needs more instructions (compare +
READ + compare) to determine whether reschedule is needed or not.
Because this_cpu_*() ops are inlined and called in a lot of places so we
can save a lot of instructions.

The size of kernel text is reduced by ~184KB with default Fedora kernel
config. This also helps reduce kernel icache miss rate and stalled frontend
cycles as kernel build benchmark result showed.

2. Kernel Build
---------------
Run kernel build (make -j160) with the default Fedora kernel config in a
memcg.
13% - 18% sys time improvment
3% - 7% wall time improvement

5% fewer kernel icache miss, 5% fewer executed kernel instructions and
15% fewer stalled frontend cycles for kernel.

3. stress-ng vm ops
-------------------
stress-ng --vm 160 --vm-bytes 128M --vm-ops 100000000
8.5% improvement

4. stress-ng vm ops + fork
--------------------------
stress-ng --mmapfork 160 --mmapfork-bytes 128M --mmapfork-ops 500
15% improvement

5. Specjbb
----------
The specjbb test latency curves showed the patched kernel has consistently
lower p99 latency (the lower the better) than the baseline.

2.5% improvement on max-jOPS and 4% - 5% improvement on critical-jOPS.
The specjbb benchmark is quite sensitive to latency and responsiveness, 
particularly critical-jOPS result. The patches are supposed to improve the
responsiveness due to the reduction of preempt-disabled critical sections.

6. MySQL
--------
1% - 2% gains on read-only test, 2% - 4% gains on write-only test. Also see
15% decrease on frontend cache stall.


Regression test
===============
1. memcg creation
-----------------
Create 10K memcgs. Each memcg creation needs to allocate multiple percpu
variables, for example, percpu refcnt, rstat and objcg percpu refcnt.

Consumed 2112K more virtual memory for percpu “local mapping” and a few
more mega bytes consumed by per cpu page tables.
No noticeable regression was found for elapsed time.

2. fork test
------------
stress-ng --fork 160 --fork-ops 10000000
fork() needs to allocate multiple percpu variables, for example, rss
counters and mm_cid_cpu.

Roughly 1% regression was found. However stress-ng fork test has quites
small address space, the real life workloads typically have much larger
address space and do more complicated works. The stress-ng mmapfork
benchmark saw 15% improvement.


The organization of patches
===========================
The refactor and prepatory patches (patch 1 - patch 4)
Percpu page table support patches (patch 5 - patch 8)
Local percpu area support patches (patch 7 - patch 15)
Use local percpu area for this_cpu ops (patch 16)

The following patches will need to modify it to set up local percpu area
on arm64 so the generic code won't work anymore. ARM64 and RISCV are the
only users, so move the code to their own kernel/smp.c file.

We can't leave the generic code in arch_numa.c because both ARM64 and
RISCV select CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_NUMA, so it will result in multiple
definition problem.

There is no functional change.

The percpu set up code has been moved out of arch_numa.c, so it is
unnecessary to have percpu related kernel configs depend on NUMA.

pud_populate() and pmd_populate_kernel() are called by percpu and
vmemmap to populate PUD and PMD.  They need to sync up kernel page table
when percpu page table support for ARM64 is added in the later patch.
So introduce {pud|pmd}_populate_sync() and protect them with
ARCH_HAS_{PUD|PMD}_POPULATE_SYNC kernel configs.  ARM64 specific
implementation will be defined in the later patch.

We can change pud_populate() and pmd_populate_kernel() to take address
as a new parameter, but this change is needed for all architectures and
not all callsites of them need sync page table.  So introducing new APIs
for this usecase seems much more simple.

This is a preparation patch, no functional change.

vmap{__vunmap}_range_noflush() assume manipulate init_mm pgd.  The
following patch will map percpu local mapping into percpu page table by
calling them, so the assumption will no longer stand.  Make them take
pgd pointer as an parameter.

Also make vmap_range_noflush() non static, it will be called outside
vmalloc in the following patch.

There is no functional change.

Currently all cpus share the same kernel page table (swapper_pg_dir),
this patch creates kernel page table for each cpu and each cpu uses its
own kernel page table.  The cpu 0 keeps using swapper_pg_dir.  All the
kernel page tables share the same content.  So we don't have to
duplicate the whole page table for all cpus, we just need to have
different pgd page for each cpu.  All kernel page table modification (split,
creation, deletion, etc) actually still happens on swapper_pg_dir, the
modification needs to be synchronized to other cpu's page tables when
the top level is modified.

The percpu page table can't be shared across cores, so clear cnp bit
too even though CNP is supported.

Some features may not work with it for now, for example, memory hotplug,
KASAN, etc.  They will be fixed in the following patches.

The percpu allocator returns offset from percpu base address.  The
percpu base address is determined by the first chunk which is typically
in the low address of vmalloc space, however percpu varriables are
typically allocated from the high address of vmalloc space.  So the offset
could be quite big.  It may be the whole size of vmalloc space.  To support
local percpu mapping in order to optimize this_cpu_*() ops, the percpu
allocator needs to allocate memory from local percpu area too in the following
patch and the offset to local percpu base address must be same because
the offset returned by percpu allocator must be used to access both
global percpu and local percpu.

We can half vmalloc space to have either half dedicated to local percpu,
but it wastes too much address space.  So carve out dedicated global percpu
and local percpu areas.  Each area size is 2 * PGDIR_SIZE if page size is 4K.
It is 1TB with 4K page size, should be big enough for percpu.  It has different
size for 16K and 64K page size respectively.

The percpu areas are aligned to top level page table entry size in order to
just need to sync percpu page table at pgd level to minimize page table sync
overhead.

The kernel virtual address space layout now looks like:

+-----------------+
|  Linear mapping |
+-----------------+
|  Modules        |
+-----------------+
|  Vmalloc        |
+-----------------+
|  Global Percpu  |
+-----------------+
|  Local Percpu   |
+-----------------+
|  Vmemap         |
+-----------------+
|  PCI I/O        |
+-----------------+
|  Fixed map      |
+-----------------+

The percpu variables are allocated from vmalloc area by default.  The
architectures which support local percpu map will allocate percpu
variables from dedicated percpu area, for example, ARM64.

Introduce a new kernel config, CONFIG_HAVE_LOCAL_PER_CPU_MAP.  The
architectures which support local percpu map will need to select it.  If
it is enabled, allocate percpu variables from the dedicated percpu area.

But still treat percpu area address as vmalloc address.

Allocate local percpu area and map to percpu page table for the first
chunk.

It doesn't work for PCPU_FC_EMBED because the percpu base adddress may
be in linear mapping space in this case, it will result in returning huge
offset for percpu allocator.  So percpu local map just can work with
PCPU_FC_PAGE which allocates percpu variables from vmalloc area or the
dedicated percpu area.  So unselect NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK if
the architectures support percpu local map.

this_cpu_*() ops will use it to get the local percpu address.  It has
the same value for all CPUs.

Also introduce pcpu_local_base, which is the base address of local
percpu map.

Allocate local percpu vm area.  The delta between the allocated addr
(chunk local base) and pcpu_local_base must be same with the delta
between chunk base and pcpu_base_addr.  Each CPU's local percpu area
will be mapped to its own page table.  This section of page table is not
shared between CPUs.

And free local percpu vm area.  Also unmap from percpu page table.

ARM64 supports local percpu map, so select HAVE_LOCAL_PER_CPU_MAP. But
it depends on VA bits and page size for now.

Use local percpu address for this_cpu_*() APIs.  Because the percpu
variable is mapped to the same virtual address, their address can be
calculated by using __per_cpu_local_off which has same value for all
CPUs.  So preempt_disable/preempt_enable is not needed anymore.  This
optimization can improve the performance for this_cpu_*() operations.

Kernel build test on AmpereOne (160 cores) with default Fedora kernel
config in a memcg roughly showed 13% - 15% sys time improvement.
