Presently stage2_apply_range() works on a batch of memory addressed by a
stage 2 root table entry for the VM. Depending on the IPA limit of the
VM and PAGE_SIZE of the host, this could address a massive range of
memory. Some examples:
4 level, 4K paging -> 512 GB batch size
3 level, 64K paging -> 4TB batch size
Unsurprisingly, working on such a large range of memory can lead to soft
lockups. When running dirty_log_perf_test:
./dirty_log_perf_test -m -2 -s anonymous_thp -b 4G -v 48

When building with CONFIG_LTO after commit ba00c2a04f ("arm64: fix the

Similar to the issue resolved by commit 0072dc1b53 ("arm64: avoid
BUILD_BUG_ON() in alternative-macros"), there is a circular include
dependency through <linux/bits.h> when CONFIG_LTO is enabled due to
<asm/rwonce.h> appearing in the include chain before the contents of
<asm/alternative-macros.h>, which results in ALTERNATIVE() not getting
expanded properly because it has not been defined yet.
Avoid this issue by including <vdso/bits.h>, which includes the
definition of the BIT() macro, instead of <linux/bits.h>, as BIT() is the
only macro from bits.h that is relevant to this header.

Jon Hunter reports that for some toolchains the build has been broken
since commit:
4c0bd995d7 ("arm64: alternatives: have callbacks take a cap")
... with a stream of build-time splats of the form:

| 'arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/vhe/debug-sr.o' failed
The issue here is that older versions of binutils (up to and including
2.27.0) don't like an 'L' suffix on constants. For plain assembly files,
UL() avoids this suffix, but in C files this gets added, and so for
inline assembly we can't directly use a constant defined with `UL()`.
We could avoid this by passing the constant as an input parameter, but
this isn't practical given the way we use the alternative macros.
Instead, just open code the constant without the `UL` suffix, and for
consistency do this for both the inline assembly macro and the regular
assembly macro.

Patch series "Multi-Gen LRU Framework", v14.
What's new
==========
1. OpenWrt, in addition to Android, Arch Linux Zen, Armbian, ChromeOS,
Liquorix, post-factum and XanMod, is now shipping MGLRU on 5.15.
2. Fixed long-tailed direct reclaim latency seen on high-memory (TBs)
machines. The old direct reclaim backoff, which tries to enforce a
minimum fairness among all eligible memcgs, over-swapped by about
(total_mem>>DEF_PRIORITY)-nr_to_reclaim. The new backoff, which
pulls the plug on swapping once the target is met, trades some
fairness for curtailed latency:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-10-yuzhao@google.com/
3. Fixed minior build warnings and conflicts. More comments and nits.
TLDR
====
The current page reclaim is too expensive in terms of CPU usage and it
often makes poor choices about what to evict. This patchset offers an
alternative solution that is performant, versatile and
straightforward.
Patchset overview
=================
The design and implementation overview is in patch 14:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-15-yuzhao@google.com/
01. mm: x86, arm64: add arch_has_hw_pte_young()
02. mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
Take advantage of hardware features when trying to clear the accessed
bit in many PTEs.
03. mm/vmscan.c: refactor shrink_node()
04. Revert "include/linux/mm_inline.h: fold __update_lru_size() into
its sole caller"
Minor refactors to improve readability for the following patches.
05. mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork
Adds the basic data structure and the functions that insert pages to
and remove pages from the multi-gen LRU (MGLRU) lists.
06. mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation
A minimal implementation without optimizations.
07. mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap
Exploits spatial locality to improve efficiency when using the rmap.
08. mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks
Further exploits spatial locality by optionally scanning page tables.
09. mm: multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs
Optimizes the overall performance for multiple memcgs running mixed
types of workloads.
10. mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch
Adds a kill switch to enable or disable MGLRU at runtime.
11. mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
12. mm: multi-gen LRU: debugfs interface
Provide userspace with features like thrashing prevention, working set
estimation and proactive reclaim.
13. mm: multi-gen LRU: admin guide
14. mm: multi-gen LRU: design doc
Add an admin guide and a design doc.
Benchmark results
=================
Independent lab results
-----------------------
Based on the popularity of searches [01] and the memory usage in
Google's public cloud, the most popular open-source memory-hungry
applications, in alphabetical order, are:
Apache Cassandra Memcached
Apache Hadoop MongoDB
Apache Spark PostgreSQL
MariaDB (MySQL) Redis
An independent lab evaluated MGLRU with the most widely used benchmark
suites for the above applications. They posted 960 data points along
with kernel metrics and perf profiles collected over more than 500
hours of total benchmark time. Their final reports show that, with 95%
confidence intervals (CIs), the above applications all performed
significantly better for at least part of their benchmark matrices.
On 5.14:
1. Apache Spark [02] took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]%
less wall time to sort three billion random integers, respectively,
under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when
overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant
changes in wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
2. MariaDB [03] achieved 95% CIs [5.24, 10.71]% and [20.22, 25.97]%
more transactions per minute (TPM), respectively, under the medium-
and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory.
There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest
of the benchmark matrix.
3. Memcached [04] achieved 95% CIs [23.54, 32.25]%, [20.76, 41.61]%
and [21.59, 30.02]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [13.85, 15.97]% and
[23.94, 29.92]% more OPS, respectively, for random access and
Gaussian access, when THP=never. There were no statistically
significant changes in OPS for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
4. MongoDB [05] achieved 95% CIs [2.23, 3.44]%, [6.97, 9.73]% and
[2.16, 3.55]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for
exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian
(distribution) access, when underutilizing memory; 95% CIs
[8.83, 10.03]%, [21.12, 23.14]% and [5.53, 6.46]% more OPS,
respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian
access, when overcommitting memory.
On 5.15:
5. Apache Cassandra [06] achieved 95% CIs [1.06, 4.10]%, [1.94, 5.43]%
and [4.11, 7.50]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,
for exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian
(distribution) access, when swap was off; 95% CIs [0.50, 2.60]%,
[6.51, 8.77]% and [3.29, 6.75]% more OPS, respectively, for
exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when swap was
on.
6. Apache Hadoop [07] took 95% CIs [5.31, 9.69]% and [2.02, 7.86]%
less average wall time to finish twelve parallel TeraSort jobs,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in average wall time for the rest of the
benchmark matrix.
7. PostgreSQL [08] achieved 95% CI [1.75, 6.42]% more transactions per
minute (TPM) under the high-concurrency condition, when swap was
off; 95% CIs [12.82, 18.69]% and [22.70, 46.86]% more TPM,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
8. Redis [09] achieved 95% CIs [0.58, 5.94]%, [6.55, 14.58]% and
[11.47, 19.36]% more total operations per second (OPS),
respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian
(distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [1.27, 3.54]%,
[10.11, 14.81]% and [8.75, 13.64]% more total OPS, respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian access, when
THP=never.

I have Archlinux with 8G RAM + zswap + swap. While developing, I
have lots of apps opened such as multiple LSP-servers for different
langs, chats, two browsers, etc... Usually, my system gets quickly
to a point of SWAP-storms, where I have to kill LSP-servers,
restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags
heavily and is barely usable.
1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU
patchset, and I started up by opening lots of apps to create memory
pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a
single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never
getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single
SWAP-storm.
Vaibhav from IBM reported [12]:
In a synthetic MongoDB Benchmark, seeing an average of ~19%
throughput improvement on POWER10(Radix MMU + 64K Page Size) with
MGLRU patches on top of 5.16 kernel for MongoDB + YCSB across
three different request distributions, namely, Exponential, Uniform
and Zipfan.
Shuang from U of Rochester reported [13]:
With the MGLRU, fio achieved 95% CIs [38.95, 40.26]%, [4.12, 6.64]%
and [9.26, 10.36]% higher throughput, respectively, for random
access, Zipfian (distribution) access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 1; 95% CIs
[42.32, 49.15]%, [9.44, 9.89]% and [20.99, 22.86]% higher
throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian access and
Gaussian access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 2.
Daniel from Michigan Tech reported [14]:
With Memcached allocating ~100GB of byte-addressable Optante,
performance improvement in terms of throughput (measured as queries
per second) was about 10% for a series of workloads.
Large-scale deployments
-----------------------
We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of ChromeOS users and
about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows
an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to
improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number
of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in
app launch time at the 50th percentile.
The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include:
1. Android [16]
2. Arch Linux Zen [17]
3. Armbian [18]
4. ChromeOS [19]
5. Liquorix [20]
6. OpenWrt [21]

Summary
=======
The facts are:
1. The independent lab results and the real-world applications
indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions.
2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim
work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions.
3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been
demonstrated similar effects.
Our options, accordingly, are:
1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely
materialize for a wide range of workloads.
2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features
will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data
centers.
3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well
maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not
impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches.
This patch (of 14):
Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86
and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability,
clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following
the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit).
Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g.,
whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page
faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs.
Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g.,
hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should
not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness,
e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with
the accessed bit).

We introduced uaccess pointer masking for arm64 in commit:
4d8efc2d5e ("arm64: Use pointer masking to limit uaccess speculation")
Which was intended to prevent speculative uaccesses to kernel memory on
CPUs where access permissions were not respected under speculation.
At the time, the uaccess primitives were occasionally used to access
kernel memory, with the maximum permitted address held in
thread_info::addr_limit. Consequently, the address masking needed to
take this dynamic limit into account.
Subsequently the uaccess primitives were reworked such that they are
only used for user memory, and as of commit:
3d2403fd10 ("arm64: uaccess: remove set_fs()")
... the address limit was made a compile-time constant, but the logic
was otherwise unchanged.
Regardless of the configured VA size or whether TBI is in use, the
address space can be divided into three ranges:
* The TTBR0 VA range, for which any valid pointer has bit 55 *clear*,
and any non-tag bits [63-56] must match bit 55 (i.e. must be clear).
* The TTBR1 VA range, for which any valid pointer has bit 55 *set*, and
any non-tag bits [63-56] must match bit 55 (i.e. must be set).
* The gap between the TTBR0 and TTBR1 ranges, where bit 55 may be set or
clear, but any access will result in a fault.
As the uaccess primitives are now only used for user memory in the TTBR0
VA range, we can prevent generation of TTBR1 addresses by clearing bit
55, which will either result in a TTBR0 address or a faulting address
between the TTBR VA ranges.
This is beneficial for code generation as:
* We no longer clobber the condition codes.
* We no longer burn a register on (TASK_SIZE_MAX - 1).
* We no longer need to consume the untagged pointer.
When building a defconfig v6.0-rc3 with GCC 12.1.0, this change makes
the resulting Image 64KiB smaller.

If FEAT_MTE2 is disabled via the arm64.nomte command line argument on a
CPU that claims to support FEAT_MTE2, the kernel will use Tagged Normal
in the MAIR. If we interpret arm64.nomte to mean that the CPU does not
in fact implement FEAT_MTE2, setting the system register like this may
lead to UNSPECIFIED behavior. Fix it by arranging for MAIR to be set
in the C function cpu_enable_mte which is called based on the sanitized
version of the system register.
There is no need for the rest of the MTE-related system register
initialization to happen from assembly, with the exception of TCR_EL1,
which must be set to include at least TBI1 because the secondary CPUs
access KASan-allocated data structures early. Therefore, make the TCR_EL1
initialization unconditional and move the rest of the initialization to
cpu_enable_mte so that we no longer have a dependency on the unsanitized
ID register value.

Dwarf based unwinding in a function that pushes SVE registers onto
the stack requires the unwinder to know the length of the SVE register
to calculate the stack offsets correctly. This was added to the Arm
specific Dwarf spec as the VG pseudo register[1].
Add the vector length at position 46 if it's requested by userspace and
SVE is supported. If it's not supported then fail to open the event.
The vector length must be on each sample because it can be changed
at runtime via a prctl or ptrace call. Also by adding it as a register
rather than a separate attribute, minimal changes will be required in an
unwinder that already indexes into the register list.

KVM: arm64: Preserve PSTATE.SS for the guest while single-step is enabled
Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
While userspace enables single-step, if the Software Step state at the
last guest exit was "Active-pending", clear PSTATE.SS on guest entry
to restore the state.
Currently, KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every guest entry while userspace
enables single-step for the vCPU (with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP).
It means KVM always makes the vCPU's Software Step state
"Active-not-pending" on the guest entry, which lets the VCPU perform
single-step (then Software Step exception is taken). This could cause
extra single-step (without returning to userspace) if the Software Step
state at the last guest exit was "Active-pending" (i.e. the last
exit was triggered by an asynchronous exception after the single-step
is performed, but before the Software Step exception is taken.
See "Figure D2-3 Software step state machine" and "D2.12.7 Behavior
in the active-pending state" in ARM DDI 0487I.a for more info about
this behavior).
Fix this by clearing PSTATE.SS on guest entry if the Software Step state
at the last exit was "Active-pending" so that KVM restore the state (and
the exception is taken before further single-step is performed).

Preserve the PSTATE.SS value for the guest while userspace enables
single-step (i.e. while KVM manipulates the PSTATE.SS) for the vCPU.
Currently, while userspace enables single-step for the vCPU
(with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP), KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every
guest entry, not saving its original value.
When userspace disables single-step, KVM doesn't restore the original
value for the subsequent guest entry (use the current value instead).
Exception return instructions copy PSTATE.SS from SPSR_ELx.SS
only in certain cases when single-step is enabled (and set it to 0
in other cases). So, the value matters only when the guest enables
single-step (and when the guest's Software step state isn't affected
by single-step enabled by userspace, practically), though.
Fix this by preserving the original PSTATE.SS value while userspace
enables single-step, and restoring the value once it is disabled.
This fix modifies the behavior of GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG for the
PSTATE.SS while single-step is enabled by userspace.
Presently, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG gets/sets the current PSTATE.SS
value, which KVM will override on the next guest entry (i.e. the
value userspace gets/sets is not used for the next guest entry).
With this patch, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG will get/set the guest's
preserved value, which KVM will preserve and try to restore after
single-step is disabled.

For each instance of an alternative, the compiler outputs a distinct
copy of the alternative instructions into a subsection. As the compiler
doesn't have special knowledge of alternatives, it cannot coalesce these
to save space.
In a defconfig kernel built with GCC 12.1.0, there are approximately
10,000 instances of alternative_has_feature_likely(), where the
replacement instruction is always a NOP. As NOPs are
position-independent, we don't need a unique copy per alternative
sequence.
This patch adds a callback to patch an alternative sequence with NOPs,
and make use of this in alternative_has_feature_likely(). So that this
can be used for other sites in future, this is written to patch multiple
instructions up to the original sequence length.
For NVHE, an alias is added to image-vars.h.
For modules, the callback is exported. Note that as modules are loaded
within 2GiB of the kernel, an alt_instr entry in a module can always
refer directly to the callback, and no special handling is necessary.
When building with GCC 12.1.0, the vmlinux is ~158KiB smaller, though
the resulting Image size is unchanged due to alignment constraints and
padding:

Currrently we use a mixture of alternative sequences and static branches
to handle features detected at boot time. For ease of maintenance we
generally prefer to use static branches in C code, but this has a few
downsides:
* Each static branch has metadata in the __jump_table section, which is
not discarded after features are finalized. This wastes some space,
and slows down the patching of other static branches.
* The static branches are patched at a different point in time from the
alternatives, so changes are not atomic. This leaves a transient
period where there could be a mismatch between the behaviour of
alternatives and static branches, which could be problematic for some
features (e.g. pseudo-NMI).
* More (instrumentable) kernel code is executed to patch each static
branch, which can be risky when patching certain features (e.g.
irqflags management for pseudo-NMI).
* When CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n, static branches are turned into a load of a
flag and a conditional branch. This means it isn't safe to use such
static branches in an alternative address space (e.g. the NVHE/PKVM
hyp code), where the generated address isn't safe to acccess.
To deal with these issues, this patch introduces new
alternative_has_feature_*() helpers, which work like static branches but
are patched using alternatives. This ensures the patching is performed
at the same time as other alternative patching, allows the metadata to
be freed after patching, and is safe for use in alternative address
spaces.
Note that all supported toolchains have asm goto support, and since
commit:
a0a12c3ed0 ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO)"
... the CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO Kconfig symbol has been removed, so no feature
check is necessary, and we can always make use of asm goto.
Additionally, note that:
* This has no impact on cpus_have_cap(), which is a dynamic check.
* This has no functional impact on cpus_have_const_cap(). The branches
are patched slightly later than before this patch, but these branches
are not reachable until caps have been finalised.
* It is now invalid to use cpus_have_final_cap() in the window between
feature detection and patching. All existing uses are only expected
after patching anyway, so this should not be a problem.
* The LSE atomics will now be enabled during alternatives patching
rather than immediately before. As the LL/SC an LSE atomics are
functionally equivalent this should not be problematic.

Today, callback alternatives are special-cased within
__apply_alternatives(), and are applied alongside patching for system
capabilities as ARM64_NCAPS is not part of the boot_capabilities feature
mask.
This special-casing is less than ideal. Giving special meaning to
ARM64_NCAPS for this requires some structures and loops to use
ARM64_NCAPS + 1 (AKA ARM64_NPATCHABLE), while others use ARM64_NCAPS.
It's also not immediately clear callback alternatives are only applied
when applying alternatives for system-wide features.
To make this a bit clearer, changes the way that callback alternatives
are identified to remove the special-casing of ARM64_NCAPS, and to allow
callback alternatives to be associated with a cpucap as with all other
alternatives.
New cpucaps, ARM64_ALWAYS_BOOT and ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM are added which
are always detected alongside boot cpu capabilities and system
capabilities respectively. All existing callback alternatives are made
to use ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM, and so will be patched at the same point
during the boot flow as before.
Subsequent patches will make more use of these new cpucaps.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Currently it isn't safe to use cpus_have_cap() from noinstr code as
test_bit() is explicitly instrumented, and were cpus_have_cap() placed
out-of-line, cpus_have_cap() itself could be instrumented.
Make cpus_have_cap() noinstr safe by marking it __always_inline and
using arch_test_bit().
Aside from the prevention of instrumentation, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.

the version of the architecture where those features were updated but the
ARM refers to them using the FEAT_ names for the features. To improve
consistency and help with updating for newer features and since v9 will
make our current naming scheme a bit more confusing update the macros
identfying features to use the FEAT_ based scheme.

If an FPAC exception is taken from EL1, the entry code will call
do_ptrauth_fault(), where due to:
BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs))
... the kernel will report a problem within do_ptrauth_fault() rather
than reporting the original context the FPAC exception was taken from.
The pt_regs and ESR value reported will be from within
do_ptrauth_fault() and the code dump will be for the BRK in BUG_ON(),
which isn't sufficient to debug the cause of the original exception.
This patch makes the reporting better by having separate EL0 and EL1
FPAC exception handlers, with the latter calling die() directly to
report the original context the FPAC exception was taken from.
Note that we only need to prevent kprobes of the EL1 FPAC handler, since
the EL0 FPAC handler cannot be called recursively.
For consistency with do_el0_svc*(), I've named the split functions
do_el{0,1}_fpac() rather than do_el{0,1}_ptrauth_fault(). I've also
clarified the comment to not imply there are casues other than FPAC
exceptions.
Prior to this patch FPAC exceptions are reported as:

Currently, bug_handler() and kasan_handler() call die() with '0' as the
'err' value, whereas die_kernel_fault() passes the ESR_ELx value.
For consistency, this patch ensures we always pass the ESR_ELx value to
die(). As this is only called for exceptions taken from kernel mode,
there should be no user-visible change as a result of this patch.
For UNDEFINED exceptions, I've had to modify do_undefinstr() and its
callers to pass the ESR_ELx value. In all cases the ESR_ELx value had
already been read and was available.

Recently, we reworked a lot of code to consistentlt pass ESR_ELx as a
64-bit quantity. However, we missed that this can be passed into die()
and __die() as the 'err' parameter where it is truncated to a 32-bit
int.
As notify_die() already takes 'err' as a long, this patch changes die()
and __die() to also take 'err' as a long, ensuring that the full value
of ESR_ELx is retained.
At the same time, die() is updated to consistently log 'err' as a
zero-padded 64-bit quantity.
Subsequent patches will pass the ESR_ELx value to die() for a number of
exceptions.

The __lse_*() and __ll_sc_*() atomic implementations are marked as
inline rather than __always_inline, permitting a compiler to generate

We marked the atomic wrappers as __always_inline in commit:

... but did not think to do the same for the underlying implementations.
If the compiler were to out-of-line an LSE or LL/SC atomic, this could

When CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y, each use of an LL/SC atomic results in
a fragment of code being generated in a subsection without a clear
association with its caller. A trampoline in the caller branches to the
LL/SC atomic with with a direct branch, and the atomic directly branches
back into its trampoline.
This breaks backtracing, as any PC within the out-of-line fragment will
be symbolized as an offset from the nearest prior symbol (which may not
be the function using the atomic), and since the atomic returns with a
direct branch, the caller's PC may be missing from the backtrace.
For example, with secondary_start_kernel() hacked to contain
atomic_inc(NULL), the resulting exception can be reported as being taken

This is confusing and hinders debugging, and will be problematic for
CONFIG_LIVEPATCH as these cases cannot be unwound reliably.
This is very similar to recent issues with out-of-line exception fixups,
which were removed in commits:
35d67794b8 ("arm64: lib: __arch_clear_user(): fold fixups into body")
4012e0e227 ("arm64: lib: __arch_copy_from_user(): fold fixups into body")
139f9ab73d ("arm64: lib: __arch_copy_to_user(): fold fixups into body")
When the trampolines were introduced in commit:
addfc38672 ("arm64: atomics: avoid out-of-line ll/sc atomics")
The rationale was to improve icache performance by grouping the LL/SC
atomics together. This has never been measured, and this theoretical
benefit is outweighed by other factors:
* As the subsections are collapsed into sections at object file
granularity, these are spread out throughout the kernel and can share
cachelines with unrelated code regardless.
* GCC 12.1.0 has been observed to place the trampoline out-of-line in
specialised __ll_sc_*() functions, introducing more branching than was
intended.
* Removing the trampolines has been observed to shrink a defconfig
kernel Image by 64KiB when building with GCC 12.1.0.
This patch removes the LL/SC trampolines, meaning that the LL/SC atomics
will be inlined into their callers (or placed in out-of line functions
using regular BL/RET pairs). When CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=y, the LL/SC
atomics are always called in an unlikely branch, and will be placed in a
cold portion of the function, so this should have minimal impact to the
hot paths.
Other than the improved backtracing, there should be no functional
change as a result of this patch.
