Series uprobes: Improve scalability by reducing the contention on siglock | expand

Commit Message

Liao, Chang Aug. 15, 2024, 1:46 a.m. UTC 
This patch introduces a flag to track TIF_SIGPENDING is suppress
temporarily during the uprobe single-step. Upon uprobe singlestep is
handled and the flag is confirmed, it could resume the TIF_SIGPENDING
directly without acquiring the siglock in most case, then reducing
contention and improving overall performance.

I've use the script developed by Andrii in [1] to run benchmark. The CPU
used was Kunpeng916 (Hi1616), 4 NUMA nodes, 64 cores@2.4GHz running the
kernel on next tree + the optimization for get_xol_insn_slot() [2].

Above benchmark results demonstrates a obivious improvement in the

of which are from 4.5M/s to 6.4M/s and 3.3M/s to 5.1M/s individually.
