When running UnixBench/Execl throughput case, false sharing is observed
due to frequent read on base_addr and write on free_bytes, chunk_md.
UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts
are spawned frequently to do some short jobs. It will do system call on
execl frequently, and execl will call mm_init to initialize mm_struct
of the process. mm_init will call __percpu_counter_init for
percpu_counters initialization. Then pcpu_alloc is called to read
the base_addr of pcpu_chunk for memory allocation. Inside pcpu_alloc,
it will call pcpu_alloc_area to allocate memory from a specified chunk.
This function will update "free_bytes" and "chunk_md" to record the
rest free bytes and other meta data for this chunk. Correspondingly,
pcpu_free_area will also update these 2 members when free memory.
Call trace from perf is as below:
+ 57.15% 0.01% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __percpu_counter_init
+ 57.13% 0.91% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pcpu_alloc
- 55.27% 54.51% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock
- 53.54% 0x654278696e552f34

__x64_sys_execve
do_execveat_common.isra.47
alloc_bprm
mm_init
__percpu_counter_init
pcpu_alloc
- __mutex_lock.isra.17
In current pcpu_chunk layout, ‘base_addr’ is in the same cache line
with ‘free_bytes’ and ‘chunk_md’, and ‘base_addr’ is at the
last 8 bytes. This patch moves ‘bound_map’ up to ‘base_addr’,
to let ‘base_addr’ locate in a new cacheline.
With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform,
based on v6.4-rc4, the 160 parallel score improves by 24%.

It was only recently percpu was added to the mm_struct so this wasn't originally on the hot path. It's probably worth reshuffling around pcpu_chunk because as you point out base_addr is read_only after init. There in general aren't that many of these structs on any particular host, so its probably good to just annotate with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp and potentially reshuffle around a few other variables. Another optimization here is a batch allocation which hasn't been done yet (allocate essentially an array of percpu variables all at once, but allow for their lifetimes to be independent). PS - I know I'm not super active, but please cc me on percpu changes.

UnixBench/Execl represents a class of workload where bash scripts are spawned frequently to do some short jobs. It will do system call on execl frequently, and execl will call mm_init to initialize mm_struct of the process. mm_init will call __percpu_counter_init for percpu_counters initialization. Then pcpu_alloc is called to read the base_addr of pcpu_chunk for memory allocation. Inside pcpu_alloc, it will call pcpu_alloc_area to allocate memory from a specified chunk. This function will update "free_bytes" and "chunk_md" to record the rest free bytes and other meta data for this chunk. Correspondingly, pcpu_free_area will also update these 2 members when free memory. Call trace from perf is as below: + 57.15% 0.01% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __percpu_counter_init + 57.13% 0.91% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pcpu_alloc - 55.27% 54.51% execl [kernel.kallsyms] [k] osq_lock - 53.54% 0x654278696e552f34 main __execve entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe do_syscall_64 __x64_sys_execve do_execveat_common.isra.47 alloc_bprm mm_init __percpu_counter_init pcpu_alloc - __mutex_lock.isra.17 In current pcpu_chunk layout, ‘base_addr’ is in the same cache line with ‘free_bytes’ and ‘chunk_md’, and ‘base_addr’ is at the last 8 bytes. This patch moves ‘bound_map’ up to ‘base_addr’, to let ‘base_addr’ locate in a new cacheline. With this change, on Intel Sapphire Rapids 112C/224T platform, based on v6.4-rc4, the 160 parallel score improves by 24%.

A chunk covers ballpark between 64kb and 512kb memory depending on some config and boot time stuff, so I believe the additional memory used here is nominal at best. Working the #s on my desktop: Percpu: 58624 kB 28 cores -> ~2.1MB of percpu memory. At say ~128KB per chunk -> 33 chunks, generously 40 chunks. Adding alignment might bump the chunk size ~64 bytes, so in total ~2KB of overhead? I believe we can do a little better to avoid eating that full padding, so likely less than that.

The layout of this structure (printed by pahole) before and after this patch is as below for reference. The default size is 136 Bytes with 3 cachelines. With patch v3, it is 192 Bytes with 56 extra padding. For "____cacheline_aligned_in_smp ", initially it was not added with the same concern on memory, as it can obtain the same performance gain with reshuffle on base_addr only. Thanks to Dennis with expertise on the overall usage, it is added to be more clear and bring convenience for future changes. --default v6.4-rc4-- struct pcpu_chunk { struct list_head list; /* 0 16 */ int free_bytes; /* 16 4 */ struct pcpu_block_md chunk_md; /* 20 32 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ void * base_addr; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ long unsigned int * alloc_map; /* 64 8 */ long unsigned int * bound_map; /* 72 8 */ struct pcpu_block_md * md_blocks; /* 80 8 */ void * data; /* 88 8 */ bool immutable; /* 96 1 */ bool isolated; /* 97 1 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ int start_offset; /* 100 4 */ int end_offset; /* 104 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct obj_cgroup * * obj_cgroups; /* 112 8 */ int nr_pages; /* 120 4 */ int nr_populated; /* 124 4 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ int nr_empty_pop_pages; /* 128 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int populated[]; /* 136 0 */ /* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 17 */ /* sum members: 122, holes: 4, sum holes: 14 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; --with patch v3-- struct pcpu_chunk { struct list_head list; /* 0 16 */ int free_bytes; /* 16 4 */ struct pcpu_block_md chunk_md; /* 20 32 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int * bound_map; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ void * base_addr; /* 64 8 */ long unsigned int * alloc_map; /* 72 8 */ struct pcpu_block_md * md_blocks; /* 80 8 */ void * data; /* 88 8 */ bool immutable; /* 96 1 */ bool isolated; /* 97 1 */ /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */ int start_offset; /* 100 4 */ int end_offset; /* 104 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct obj_cgroup * * obj_cgroups; /* 112 8 */ int nr_pages; /* 120 4 */ int nr_populated; /* 124 4 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ int nr_empty_pop_pages; /* 128 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int populated[]; /* 136 0 */ /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 17 */ /* sum members: 122, holes: 4, sum holes: 14 */ /* padding: 56 */ }; Regards Yu > Thanks, > Dennis ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
