But naive approach comes with cost. Numbers below are for kernel build, allmodconfig, 5 times. CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=n: Performance counter stats for 'sh -c make -j100 -B -k >/dev/null' (5 runs): 17308719.892691 task-clock:u (msec) # 26.772 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.11% ) 0 context-switches:u # 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations:u # 0.000 K/sec 331,993,164 page-faults:u # 0.019 M/sec ( +- 0.01% ) 43,614,978,867,455 cycles:u # 2.520 GHz ( +- 0.01% ) 39,371,534,575,126 stalled-cycles-frontend:u # 90.27% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.09% ) 28,363,350,152,428 instructions:u # 0.65 insn per cycle # 1.39 stalled cycles per insn ( +- 0.00% ) 6,316,784,066,413 branches:u # 364.948 M/sec ( +- 0.00% ) 250,808,144,781 branch-misses:u # 3.97% of all branches ( +- 0.01% ) 646.531974142 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.15% ) CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y: Performance counter stats for 'sh -c make -j100 -B -k >/dev/null' (5 runs): 17411536.780625 task-clock:u (msec) # 26.426 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.10% ) 0 context-switches:u # 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations:u # 0.000 K/sec 331,868,663 page-faults:u # 0.019 M/sec ( +- 0.01% ) 43,865,909,056,301 cycles:u # 2.519 GHz ( +- 0.01% ) 39,740,130,365,581 stalled-cycles-frontend:u # 90.59% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.05% ) 28,363,358,997,959 instructions:u # 0.65 insn per cycle # 1.40 stalled cycles per insn ( +- 0.00% ) 6,316,784,937,460 branches:u # 362.793 M/sec ( +- 0.00% ) 251,531,919,485 branch-misses:u # 3.98% of all branches ( +- 0.00% ) 658.886307752 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.92% ) The patch tries to fix the performance regression by using cpu_feature_enabled(X86_FEATURE_LA57) instead of pgtable_l5_enabled in all hot code paths. These will statically patch the target code for additional performance. CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL=y + the patch: Performance counter stats for 'sh -c make -j100 -B -k >/dev/null' (5 runs): 17381990.268506 task-clock:u (msec) # 26.907 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.19% ) 0 context-switches:u # 0.000 K/sec 0 cpu-migrations:u # 0.000 K/sec 331,862,625 page-faults:u # 0.019 M/sec ( +- 0.01% ) 43,697,726,320,051 cycles:u # 2.514 GHz ( +- 0.03% ) 39,480,408,690,401 stalled-cycles-frontend:u # 90.35% frontend cycles idle ( +- 0.05% ) 28,363,394,221,388 instructions:u # 0.65 insn per cycle # 1.39 stalled cycles per insn ( +- 0.00% ) 6,316,794,985,573 branches:u # 363.410 M/sec ( +- 0.00% ) 251,013,232,547 branch-misses:u # 3.97% of all branches ( +- 0.01% ) 645.991174661 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.19% ) Unfortunately, this approach doesn't help with text size: vmlinux.before .text size: 8190319 vmlinux.after .text size: 8200623 The .text section is increased by about 4k. Not sure if we can do anything about this. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
