nptl: Invert the mmap/mprotect logic on allocated stacks (BZ#18988)
Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:
--
static const int inner_count = 256;
static const int outer_count = 128;
static
void *thread1(void *arg)
{
return NULL;
}
static
void *sleeper(void *arg)
{
pthread_t ts[inner_count];
for (int i = 0; i < inner_count; i++)
pthread_create (&ts[i], &a, thread1, NULL);
for (int i = 0; i < inner_count; i++)
pthread_join (ts[i], NULL);
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_attr_init(&a);
pthread_attr_setguardsize(&a, 1<<20);
pthread_attr_setstacksize(&a, 1134592);
pthread_t ts[outer_count];
for (int i = 0; i < outer_count; i++)
pthread_create(&ts[i], &a, sleeper, NULL);
for (int i = 0; i < outer_count; i++)
pthread_join(ts[i], NULL);
assert(r == 0);
}
return 0;
}
--
On x86_64 (4.4.0-45-generic, gcc 5.4.0) running the small benchtests
I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m3.647s
user 0m0.080s
sys 0m11.836s
While with the patch I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m0.696s
user 0m0.040s
sys 0m1.152s
So I added a pthread_create benchtest (thread_create) which check
the thread creation latency. As for the simple benchtests, I saw
improvements in thread creation on all architectures I tested the
change.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu,
and sparcv9-linux-gnu.
[BZ #18988]
* benchtests/thread_create-inputs: New file.
* benchtests/thread_create-source.c: Likewise.
* support/xpthread_attr_setguardsize.c: Likewise.
* support/Makefile (libsupport-routines): Add
xpthread_attr_setguardsize object.
* support/xthread.h: Add xpthread_attr_setguardsize prototype.
* benchtests/Makefile (bench-pthread): Add thread_create.
* nptl/allocatestack.c (allocate_stack): Call mmap with PROT_NONE and
then mprotect the required area.
