[RFC PATCH 2/5] powerpc/mm/slice: implement a slice mask cache

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Sat Feb 10 19:11:36 AEDT 2018


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.

This saves about 30% kernel time on a single-page mmap/munmap micro
benchmark.
