The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.
The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec261 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.
This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.
As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.
These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:
"tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."
so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

help
|
|
This option determines the caching mode for the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Write-Back caching mode involves the all reads and writes causing
|
|
the affected cacheline to be read into the cache first before being
|
|
operated upon. Memory is not then updated by a write until the cache
|
|
is filled and a cacheline needs to be displaced from the cache to
|
|
make room. Only at that point is it written back.
|
|
|
|
Write-Through caching only fetches cachelines from memory on a
|
|
read. Writes always get written directly to memory. If the affected
|
|
cacheline is also in cache, it will be updated too.
|
|
|
|
The final option is to turn of caching entirely.

This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to

|
real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to

be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.

This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is

under load.

|
|
This option removes the E2/R2 register from the set available to gcc
|
|
for normal use and instead uses it to store the address of the
|
|
current process's task_struct whilst in the kernel.
|
|
|
|
This means the kernel doesn't need to calculate the address each time
|
|
"current" is used (take SP, AND with mask and dereference pointer
|
|
just to get the address), and instead can just use E2+offset
|
|
addressing each time.
