Maple Tree: add new data structure

2022-06-27T20:44:59+00:00

Patch series "Introducing the Maple Tree". The maple tree is an RCU-safe range based B-tree designed to use modern processor cache efficiently. There are a number of places in the kernel that a non-overlapping range-based tree would be beneficial, especially one with a simple interface. If you use an rbtree with other data structures to improve performance or an interval tree to track non-overlapping ranges, then this is for you. The tree has a branching factor of 10 for non-leaf nodes and 16 for leaf nodes. With the increased branching factor, it is significantly shorter than the rbtree so it has fewer cache misses. The removal of the linked list between subsequent entries also reduces the cache misses and the need to pull in the previous and next VMA during many tree alterations. The first user that is covered in this patch set is the vm_area_struct, where three data structures are replaced by the maple tree: the augmented rbtree, the vma cache, and the linked list of VMAs in the mm_struct. The long term goal is to reduce or remove the mmap_lock contention. The plan is to get to the point where we use the maple tree in RCU mode. Readers will not block for writers. A single write operation will be allowed at a time. A reader re-walks if stale data is encountered. VMAs would be RCU enabled and this mode would be entered once multiple tasks are using the mm_struct. Davidlor said : Yes I like the maple tree, and at this stage I don't think we can ask for : more from this series wrt the MM - albeit there seems to still be some : folks reporting breakage. Fundamentally I see Liam's work to (re)move : complexity out of the MM (not to say that the actual maple tree is not : complex) by consolidating the three complimentary data structures very : much worth it considering performance does not take a hit. This was very : much a turn off with the range locking approach, which worst case scenario : incurred in prohibitive overhead. Also as Liam and Matthew have : mentioned, RCU opens up a lot of nice performance opportunities, and in : addition academia[1] has shown outstanding scalability of address spaces : with the foundation of replacing the locked rbtree with RCU aware trees. A similar work has been discovered in the academic press https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/rcuvm:asplos12.pdf Sheer coincidence. We designed our tree with the intention of solving the hardest problem first. Upon settling on a b-tree variant and a rough outline, we researched ranged based b-trees and RCU b-trees and did find that article. So it was nice to find reassurances that we were on the right path, but our design choice of using ranges made that paper unusable for us.

lib: Add register read/write tracing support

2022-06-15T15:41:12+00:00

Generic MMIO read/write i.e., __raw_{read,write}{b,l,w,q} accessors are typically used to read/write from/to memory mapped registers and can cause hangs or some undefined behaviour in following few cases, * If the access to the register space is unclocked, for example: if there is an access to multimedia(MM) block registers without MM clocks. * If the register space is protected and not set to be accessible from non-secure world, for example: only EL3 (EL: Exception level) access is allowed and any EL2/EL1 access is forbidden. * If xPU(memory/register protection units) is controlling access to certain memory/register space for specific clients. and more... Such cases usually results in instant reboot/SErrors/NOC or interconnect hangs and tracing these register accesses can be very helpful to debug such issues during initial development stages and also in later stages. So use ftrace trace events to log such MMIO register accesses which provides rich feature set such as early enablement of trace events, filtering capability, dumping ftrace logs on console and many more.

lib: add generic polynomial calculation

2022-05-22T18:32:30+00:00

Some temperature and voltage sensors use a polynomial to convert between raw data points and actual temperature or voltage. The polynomial is usually the result of a curve fitting of the diode characteristic. The BT1 PVT hwmon driver already uses such a polynonmial calculation which is rather generic. Move it to lib/ so other drivers can reuse it.

bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig file in kernel

2022-04-26T21:58:51+00:00

This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default bootconfigs. This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE. Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead of the default bootconfig.

Since the APIs defined in the bootconfig.o are not individually used, it is meaningless to build it as library by lib-y. Use obj-y for that.
