From 66aad4fdf2bf0af29c7decb4433dc5ec6c7c5451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xunlei Pang Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 09:42:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Add support for gbpages to kernel_ident_mapping_init() Kernel identity mappings on x86-64 kernels are created in two ways: by the early x86 boot code, or by kernel_ident_mapping_init(). Native kernels (which is the dominant usecase) use the former, but the kexec and the hibernation code uses kernel_ident_mapping_init(). There's a subtle difference between these two ways of how identity mappings are created, the current kernel_ident_mapping_init() code creates identity mappings always using 2MB page(PMD level) - while the native kernel boot path also utilizes gbpages where available. This difference is suboptimal both for performance and for memory usage: kernel_ident_mapping_init() needs to allocate pages for the page tables when creating the new identity mappings. This patch adds 1GB page(PUD level) support to kernel_ident_mapping_init() to address these concerns. The primary advantage would be better TLB coverage/performance, because we'd utilize 1GB TLBs instead of 2MB ones. It is also useful for machines with large number of memory to save paging structure allocations(around 4MB/TB using 2MB page) when setting identity mappings for all the memory, after using 1GB page it will consume only 8KB/TB. ( Note that this change alone does not activate gbpages in kexec, we are doing that in a separate patch. ) Signed-off-by: Xunlei Pang Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Dave Young Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: Eric Biederman Cc: H.
