[RESEND PATCH 0/3] New algorithm for ASID allocation and rollover

[RESEND PATCH 0/3] New algorithm for ASID allocation and rollover

[Will Deacon]

Hello,

This is a resend of the patches originally posted here:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-August/114344.html

I received some minor comments in that thread, but nothing that warranted
any changes to the code. Due to the nature of these changes, I would
very much like to put these into -next for some exposure prior to merging.

Again, all feedback welcome.

Will

[RESEND PATCH 1/3] ARM: mm: remove IPI broadcasting on ASID rollover

[Will Deacon]

ASIDs are allocated to MMU contexts based on a rolling counter. This
means that after 255 allocations we must invalidate all existing ASIDs
via an expensive IPI mechanism to synchronise all of the online CPUs and
ensure that all tasks execute with an ASID from the new generation.

This patch changes the rollover behaviour so that we rely instead on the
hardware broadcasting of the TLB invalidation to avoid the IPI calls.
This works by keeping track of the active ASID on each core, which is
then reserved in the case of a rollover so that currently scheduled
tasks can continue to run. For cores without hardware TLB broadcasting,
we keep track of pending flushes in a cpumask, so cores can flush their
local TLB before scheduling a new mm.

[RESEND PATCH 2/3] ARM: mm: avoid taking ASID spinlock on fastpath

[Will Deacon]

When scheduling a new mm, we take a spinlock so that we can:

  1. Safely allocate a new ASID, if required
  2. Update our active_asids field without worrying about parallel
     updates to reserved_asids
  3. Ensure that we flush our local TLB, if required

However, this has the nasty affect of serialising context-switch across
all CPUs in the system. The usual (fast) case is where the next mm has
a valid ASID for the current generation. In such a scenario, we can
avoid taking the lock and instead use atomic64_xchg to update the
active_asids variable for the current CPU. If a rollover occurs on
another CPU (which would take the lock), when copying the active_asids
into the reserved_asids another atomic64_xchg is used to replace each
active_asids with 0. The fast path can then detect this case and fall
back to spinning on the lock.

[RESEND PATCH 3/3] ARM: mm: use bitmap operations when allocating new ASIDs

[Will Deacon]

When allocating a new ASID, we must take care not to re-assign a
reserved ASID-value to a new mm. This requires us to check each
candidate ASID against those currently reserved by other cores before
assigning a new ASID to the current mm.

This patch improves the ASID allocation algorithm by using a
bitmap-based approach. Rather than iterating over the reserved ASID
array for each candidate ASID, we simply find the first zero bit,
ensuring that those indices corresponding to reserved ASIDs are set
when flushing during a rollover event.
