x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86
Not every tlb_flush execution moment is really need to evacuate all TLB entries, like in munmap, just few 'invlpg' is better for whole process performance, since it leaves most of TLB entries for later accessing. This patch also rewrite flush_tlb_range for 2 purposes: 1, split it out to get flush_blt_mm_range function. 2, clean up to reduce line breaking, thanks for Borislav's input. My micro benchmark 'mummap' http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59 show that the random memory access on other CPU has 0~50% speed up on a 2P * 4cores * HT NHM EP while do 'munmap'. Thanks Yongjie's testing on this patch: ------------- I used Linux 3.4-RC6 w/ and w/o his patches as Xen dom0 and guest kernel. After running two benchmarks in Xen HVM guest, I found his patches brought about 1%~3% performance gain in 'kernel build' and 'netperf' testing, though the performance gain was not very stable in 'kernel build' testing. Some detailed testing results are below. Testing Environment: Hardware: Romley-EP platform Xen version: latest upstream Linux kernel: 3.4-RC6 Guest vCPU number: 8 NIC: Intel 82599 (10GB bandwidth) In 'kernel build' testing in guest: Command line | performance gain make -j 4 | 3.81% make -j 8 | 0.37% make -j 16 | -0.52% In 'netperf' testing, we tested TCP_STREAM with default socket size 16384 byte as large packet and 64 byte as small packet. I used several clients to add networking pressure, then 'netperf' server automatically generated several threads to response them. I also used large-size packet and small-size packet in the testing. Packet size | Thread number | performance gain 16384 bytes | 4 | 0.02% 16384 bytes | 8 | 2.21% 16384 bytes | 16 | 2.04% 64 bytes | 4 | 1.07% 64 bytes | 8 | 3.31% 64 bytes | 16 | 0.71% Signed-off-by: Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340845344-27557-8-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com Tested-by: Ren, Yongjie <yongjie.ren@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.
