This reduces TLB misses by nearly 30x on a `git diff` workload on a 2-node POWER9 (59,800 -> 2,100) and reduces CPU cycles by 0.54%, due to vfs hashes being allocated with 2MB pages.

Since v1: - Don't define MODULES_VADDR which has some other side effect (e.g., ptdump). - Fixed (hopefully) kbuild warning. - Keep __vmalloc_node_range call on 3 lines. .../admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt | 2 ++ arch/powerpc/Kconfig | 1 + arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c | 18 +++++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt b/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt index 1c0a3cf6fcc9..1be38b25c485 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt @@ -3250,6 +3250,8 @@ nohugeiomap [KNL,X86,PPC,ARM64] Disable kernel huge I/O mappings. + nohugevmalloc [PPC] Disable kernel huge vmalloc mappings. + nosmt [KNL,S390] Disable symmetric multithreading (SMT).
