Subject: slub: reduce overhead of slub_debug
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c4089f98e943ff445665dea49c190657b34ccffe;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

slub: reduce overhead of slub_debug

slub checks for poison one byte by one, which is highly inefficient
and shows up frequently as a highest cpu-eater in perf top.

Joining reads gives nice speedup:

(Compiling some project with different options)
                                 make -j12    make clean
slub_debug disabled:             1m 27s       1.2 s
slub_debug enabled:              1m 46s       7.6 s
slub_debug enabled + this patch: 1m 33s       3.2 s

check_bytes still shows up high, but not always at the top.
