mm, vmacache: hash addresses based on pmd
When perf profiling a wide variety of different workloads, it was found
that vmacache_find() had higher than expected cost: up to 0.08% of cpu
utilization in some cases. This was found to rival other core VM
functions such as alloc_pages_vma() with thp enabled and default
mempolicy, and the conditionals in __get_vma_policy().
VMACACHE_HASH() determines which of the four per-task_struct slots a vma
is cached for a particular address. This currently depends on the pfn,
so pfn 5212 occupies a different vmacache slot than its neighboring pfn
5213.
vmacache_find() iterates through all four of current's vmacache slots
when looking up an address. Hashing based on pfn, an address has
~1/VMACACHE_SIZE chance of being cached in the first vmacache slot, or
about 25%, *if* the vma is cached.
This patch hashes an address by its pmd instead of pte to optimize for
workloads with good spatial locality. This results in a higher
probability of vmas being cached in the first slot that is checked:
normally ~70% on the same workloads instead of 25%.
