Subject: [PATCH v7 11/12] mm/vmalloc: Hugepage vmalloc mappings

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2020 00:57:52 +1000

Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.

vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.

Allocations that do not use PAGE_KERNEL prot are not permitted to use huge
pages, because not all callers expect this (e.g., module allocations vs
strict module rwx).

This reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node
POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%.

This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.
