Subject: [PATCH 0/3] arm64: tlb: skip tlbi broadcast v2

Hello,

This is introducing a nr_active_mm that allows to optimize away the
tlbi broadcast also for multi threaded processes, it doesn't rely
anymore on mm_users <=3D 1.

This also optimizes away all TLB flushes (including local ones) when
the process is not running in any cpu (including during exit_mmap with
lazy tlb state).

This optimization is generally only observable when there are parallel
TLB flushes from different processes in multiple CPUs. One possible
use case is an userland malloc libs freeing small objects with
MADV_DONTNEED and causing a frequent tiny tlb flushes as demonstrated
by the tcmalloc testsuite.

All memory intensive apps dealing a multitude of frequently freed
small objects tend to opt-out of glibc and they opt-in jemalloc or
tcmalloc, so this should facilitate the SMP/NUMA scalability of long
lived apps with small objects running in different containers if
they're issuing frequent MADV_DONTNEED tlb flushes while the other
threads of the process are not running.

I was suggested to implement the mm_cpumask the standard way in
order to optimize multithreaded apps too and to avoid restricting the
optimization to mm_users <=3D 1. So initially I had two bitmasks allocate=
d
as shown at the bottom of this cover letter, by setting
ARCH_NR_MM_CPUMASK to 2 with the below patch applied... however I
figured a single atomic per-mm achieves the exact same runtime behavior
of the extra bitmap, so I just dropped the extra bitmap and I replaced
it with nr_active_mm as an optimization.

If the switch_mm atomic ops in the switch_mm fast path would be a
concern (they're still faster than the cpumask_set_cpu/clear_cpu, with
less than 256-512 CPUs), it's worth mentioning it'd be possible to
remove all atomic ops from the switch_mm fast path by restricting this
optimization to single threaded processes by checking mm_users <=3D 1
and < 1 instead of nr_active_mm <=3D 1 and < 1 similarly to what the
earlier version of this patchset was doing.

Thanks,
Andrea

Early attempt with the standard mm_cpumask follows:

From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com>
Subject: mm: allow per-arch mm_cpumasks based on ARCH_NR_MM_CPUMASK

Allow archs to allocate multiple mm_cpumasks in the mm_struct per-arch
by definining a ARCH_NR_MM_CPUMASK > 1 (to be included before
"linux/mm_types.h").

Those extra per-mm cpumasks can be referenced with
__mm_cpumask(N, mm), where N =3D=3D 0 points to the mm_cpumask()
known by the common code and N > 0 points to the per-arch private
ones.
