Subject: [PATCH v8 11/12] mm/vmalloc: Hugepage vmalloc mappings

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2020 01:25:58 +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).

When hugepage vmalloc mappings are enabled in the next patch, 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.
