From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com>
I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the
flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for
several reasons:
1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the
task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using
some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident
memory can populate the TLB.
2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the
intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function.
3. It is plain wrong in my vm:
[ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0
[ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6
Which leads to it to never use invlpg.
4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex....@intel.com
(more on this in later patches)
5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
I believe the sample times were too short. Running the
benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit.
Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This
is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later
patch.
