Calculating the slice mask can become a signifcant overhead for get_unmapped_area. This patch adds a struct slice_mask for each page size in the mm_context, and keeps these in synch with the slices psize arrays and slb_addr_limit. On Book3S/64 this adds 288 bytes to the mm_context_t for the slice mask caches. On POWER8, this increases vfork+exec+exit performance by 9.9% and reduces time to mmap+munmap a 64kB page by 28%. Reduces time to mmap+munmap by about 10% on 8xx. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
