Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arch/powerpc: Dynamically allocate slb_shadow from memblock
Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:31:08 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386214268.68246.485420017657.2.gpush@pablo> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1386214268.68092.227432126043.1.gpush@pablo>
Currently, the slb_shadow buffer is our largest symbol:
[jk@pablo linux]$ nm --size-sort -r -S obj/vmlinux | head -1
c000000000da0000 0000000000040000 d slb_shadow
- we allocate 128 bytes per cpu; so 256k with NR_CPUS=2048. As we have
constant initialisers, it's allocated in .text, causing a larger vmlinux
image. We may also allocate unecessary slb_shadow buffers (> no. pacas),
since we use the build-time NR_CPUS rather than the run-time nr_cpu_ids.
We could move this to the bss, but then we still have the NR_CPUS vs
nr_cpu_ids potential for overallocation.
This change dynamically allocates the slb_shadow array, during
initialise_pacas(). At a cost of 104 bytes of text, we save 256k of
data:
[jk@pablo linux]$ size obj/vmlinux{.orig,}
text data bss dec hex filename
9202795 5244676 1169576 15617047 ee4c17 obj/vmlinux.orig
9202899 4982532 1169576 15355007 ea4c7f obj/vmlinux
Tested on pseries.
