Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] smp: Run functions concurrently in smp_call_function_many()
Date:   Thu, 18 Jul 2019 17:58:29 -0700

Currently, on_each_cpu() and similar functions do not exploit the
potential of concurrency: the function is first executed remotely and
only then it is executed locally. Functions such as TLB flush can take
considerable time, so this provides an opportunity for performance
optimization.

To do so, introduce __smp_call_function_many(), which allows the callers
to provide local and remote functions that should be executed, and run
them concurrently. Keep smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is today
for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in this
case locally.

__smp_call_function_many() does not use the optimized version for a
single remote target that smp_call_function_single() implements. For
synchronous function call, smp_call_function_single() keeps a
call_single_data (which is used for synchronization) on the stack.
Interestingly, it seems that not using this optimization provides
greater performance improvements (greater speedup with a single remote
target than with multiple ones). Presumably, holding data structures
that are intended for synchronization on the stack can introduce
overheads due to TLB misses and false-sharing when the stack is used for
other purposes.

Adding support to run the functions concurrently required to remove a
micro-optimization in on_each_cpu() that disabled/enabled IRQs instead
of saving/restoring them. The benefit of running the local and remote
code concurrently is expected to be greater.
