Subject: [PATCH 09/17] zen: Use [defer+madvise] as default khugepaged defrag
strategy
For some reason, the default strategy to respond to THP fault fallbacks
is still just madvise, meaning stall if the program wants transparent
hugepages, but don't trigger a background reclaim / compaction if THP
begins to fail allocations. This creates a snowball affect where we
still use the THP code paths, but we almost always fail once a system
has been active and busy for a while.
The option "defer" was created for interactive systems where THP can
still improve performance. If we have to fallback to a regular page due
to an allocation failure or anything else, we will trigger a background
reclaim and compaction so future THP attempts succeed and previous
attempts eventually have their smaller pages combined without stalling
running applications.
We still want madvise to stall applications that explicitely want THP,
so defer+madvise _does_ make a ton of sense. Make it the default for
interactive systems, especially if the kernel maintainer left
transparent hugepages on "always".
Reasoning and details in the original patch: https://lwn.net/Articles/711248/

Subject: [PATCH 12/17] Set vm.max_map_count to 262144 by default
The value is still pretty low, and AMD64-ABI and ELF extended numbering
supports that, so we should be fine on modern x86 systems.
This fixes crashes in some applications using more than 65535 vmas (also
affects some windows games running in wine, such as Star Citizen).

Subject: [PATCH 17/17] ZEN: intel-pstate: Implement "enable" parameter
If intel-pstate is compiled into the kernel, it will preempt the loading
of acpi-cpufreq so you can take advantage of hardware p-states without
any friction.
However, intel-pstate is not completely superior to cpufreq's ondemand
for one reason. There's no concept of an up_threshold property.
In ondemand, up_threshold essentially reduces the maximum utilization to
compare against, allowing you to hit max frequencies and turbo boost
from a much lower core utilization.
With intel-pstate, you have the concept of minimum and maximum
performance, but no tunable that lets you define, maximum frequency
means 50% core utilization. For just this oversight, there's reasons
you may want ondemand.
Lets support setting "enable" in kernel boot parameters. This lets
kernel maintainers include "intel_pstate=disable" statically in the
static boot parameters, but let users of the kernel override this
selection.

Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: Input: evdev - use call_rcu when detaching client
Significant time was spent on synchronize_rcu in evdev_detach_client
when applications closed evdev devices. Switching VT away from a
graphical environment commonly leads to mass input device closures,
which could lead to noticable delays on systems with many input devices.
Replace synchronize_rcu with call_rcu, deferring reclaim of the evdev
client struct till after the RCU grace period instead of blocking the
calling application.
While this does not solve all slow evdev fd closures, it takes care of a
good portion of them, including this simple test:
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int idx, fd;
const char *path = "/dev/input/event0";
for (idx = 0; idx < 1000; idx++) {
if ((fd = open(path, O_RDWR)) == -1) {
return -1;
}
close(fd);
}
return 0;
}
Time to completion of above test when run locally:
Before: 0m27.111s
After: 0m0.018s

Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: mm: Lower the non-hugetlbpage pageblock size to reduce
scheduling delays
The page allocator processes free pages in groups of pageblocks, where
the size of a pageblock is typically quite large (1024 pages without
hugetlbpage support). Pageblocks are processed atomically with the zone
lock held, which can cause severe scheduling delays on both the CPU
going through the pageblock and any other CPUs waiting to acquire the
zone lock. A frequent offender is move_freepages_block(), which is used
by rmqueue() for page allocation.
As it turns out, there's no requirement for pageblocks to be so large,
so the pageblock order can simply be reduced to ease the scheduling
delays and zone lock contention. PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is used as a
reasonable setting to ensure non-costly page allocation requests can
still be serviced without always needing to free up more than one
pageblock's worth of pages at a time.
This has a noticeable effect on overall system latency when memory
pressure is elevated. The various mm functions which operate on
pageblocks no longer appear in the preemptoff tracer, where previously
they would spend up to 100 ms on a mobile arm64 CPU processing a
pageblock with preemption disabled and the zone lock held.

Subject: [PATCH] ZEN: mm: Don't hog the CPU and zone lock in rmqueue_bulk()
There is noticeable scheduling latency and heavy zone lock contention
stemming from rmqueue_bulk's single hold of the zone lock while doing
its work, as seen with the preemptoff tracer. There's no actual need for
rmqueue_bulk() to hold the zone lock the entire time; it only does so
for supposed efficiency. As such, we can relax the zone lock and even
reschedule when IRQs are enabled in order to keep the scheduling delays
and zone lock contention at bay. Forward progress is still guaranteed,
as the zone lock can only be relaxed after page removal.
With this change, rmqueue_bulk() no longer appears as a serious offender
in the preemptoff tracer, and system latency is noticeably improved.
