* kern/slab.h (struct kmem_cache): Align kmem_cache objects using
__cacheline_aligned.
|
|
* kern/slab.h (struct kmem_cache): Reorder the fields so that all hot
fields are within the first cache line.
|
|
* kern/slab.h (KMEM_CACHE_NAME_SIZE): Explain the significance of the
chosen length.

Previously, the size of struct kmem_cache was 136 bytes, just eight
bytes larger than 128 bytes, which is typically two cache lines on
today's CPUs.
By reducing the size of the name field which holds a human-readable
description by eight bytes to 24 bytes, the struct kmem_cache can be
made fit into two cache lines. This change should not affect the
usefulness of this field. For reference, the length of the largest
hard-coded name is 17.
* kern/slab.h (KMEM_CACHE_NAME_SIZE): Define to 24.

Don't enforce strong ordering of partial slabs. Separating partial slabs
from free slabs is already effective against fragmentation, and sorting
would sometimes cause pathological scalability issues. In addition, store
new slabs (whether free or partial) in LIFO order for better cache usage.
* kern/slab.c (kmem_cache_grow): Insert new slab at the head of the slabs list.
(kmem_cache_alloc_from_slab): Likewise. In addition, don't sort partial slabs.
(kmem_cache_free_to_slab): Likewise.
* kern/slab.h: Remove comment about partial slabs sorting.

The purpose of this function is to allow kernel code to display the state
of the slab caches in situations where the host_slab_info RPC wouldn't be
available, e.g. before a panic.
* kern/slab.c (slab_info): New function.
* kern/slab.h: Add declaration for slab_info.

In addition, restore the original upstream copyrights for correctness.
* kern/list.h: Fix copyright assignment.
* kern/rbtree.c: Likewise.
* kern/rbtree.h: Likewise.
* kern/rbtree_i.h: Likewise.
* kern/slab.c: Likewise.

As it is intended to completely replace the zone allocator, remove it on
the way. So long to the venerable code !
* Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Add kern/slab.{c,h}, remove kern/kalloc.c
and kern/zalloc.{c,h}.
* configfrag.ac (SLAB_VERIFY, SLAB_USE_CPU_POOLS): Add defines.
* i386/Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Remove i386/i386/zalloc.h.
* i386/configfrag.ac (CPU_L1_SHIFT): Remove define.
* include/mach_debug/slab_info.h: New file.
* kern/slab.c: Likewise.
* kern/slab.h: Likewise.
* i386/i386/zalloc.h: Remove file.
* include/mach_debug/zone_info.h: Likewise.
* kern/kalloc.c: Likewise.
* kern/zalloc.c: Likewise.
* kern/zalloc.h: Likewise.
