Linux kernel source tree

There is not enough room in the 12-bit ASID address space to hand out broadcast ASIDs to every process. Only hand out broadcast ASIDs to processes when they are observed to be simultaneously running on 4 or more CPUs. This also allows single threaded process to continue using the cheaper, local TLB invalidation instructions like INVLPGB. Due to the structure of flush_tlb_mm_range(), the INVLPGB flushing is done in a generically named broadcast_tlb_flush() function which can later also be used for Intel RAR. Combined with the removal of unnecessary lru_add_drain calls() (see https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241219153253.3da9e8aa@fangorn) this results in a nice performance boost for the will-it-scale tlb_flush2_threads test on an AMD Milan system with 36 cores: - vanilla kernel: 527k loops/second - lru_add_drain removal: 731k loops/second - only INVLPGB: 527k loops/second - lru_add_drain + INVLPGB: 1157k loops/second Profiling with only the INVLPGB changes showed while TLB invalidation went down from 40% of the total CPU time to only around 4% of CPU time, the contention simply moved to the LRU lock. Fixing both at the same time about doubles the number of iterations per second from this case. Comparing will-it-scale tlb_flush2_threads with several different numbers of threads on a 72 CPU AMD Milan shows similar results. The number represents the total number of loops per second across all the threads: threads tip INVLPGB 1 315k 304k 2 423k 424k 4 644k 1032k 8 652k 1267k 16 737k 1368k 32 759k 1199k 64 636k 1094k 72 609k 993k 1 and 2 thread performance is similar with and without INVLPGB, because INVLPGB is only used on processes using 4 or more CPUs simultaneously. The number is the median across 5 runs. Some numbers closer to real world performance can be found at Phoronix, thanks to Michael: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-INVLPGB-Linux-Benefits [ bp: - Massage - :%s/\<static_cpu_has\>/cpu_feature_enabled/cgi - :%s/\<clear_asid_transition\>/mm_clear_asid_transition/cgi - Fold in a 0day bot fix: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202503040000.GtiWUsBm-lkp@intel.com ] Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nadav Amit <nadav.amit@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250226030129.530345-11-riel@surriel.com |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
