From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.b...@intel.com> This patchset reworks the stub syscall handling and also redos how page table updates are tracked and synchronized. Some of this originated in the SECCOMP patchset, but it became clear that these refactorings make sense independently as they result in a considerably fewer page faults.
As an example, these changes bring the runtime of one of the hostapd hwsim test modules from 121 seconds down to 103 seconds. Actual results will depend heavily on how pagefault heavy the workload is. Lowering the amount of pagefaults is due to proactively syncing PTEs that are set (and were previously unset) and also delaying synchronization so that multiple updates can be done in one step rather than requiring multiple task switches. This refactoring also fixes various odd corner cases in how UML was handling memory and cloning of MMs. As part of this work, support for LDTs has been dropped. My expectation is that this is not a problem as it should only be needed by legacy applications.
