arm64: enable THP_SWAP for arm64
THP_SWAP has been proven to improve the swap throughput significantly
on x86_64 according to commit bd4c82c22c367e ("mm, THP, swap: delay
splitting THP after swapped out").
As long as arm64 uses 4K page size, it is quite similar with x86_64
by having 2MB PMD THP. THP_SWAP is architecture-independent, thus,
enabling it on arm64 will benefit arm64 as well.
A corner case is that MTE has an assumption that only base pages
can be swapped. We won't enable THP_SWAP for ARM64 hardware with
MTE support until MTE is reworked to coexist with THP_SWAP.
A micro-benchmark is written to measure thp swapout throughput as
below,
unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
{
return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
}
main()
{
struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;;
#define SIZE 400*1024*1024
volatile void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (!p) {
perror("fail to get memory");
exit(-1);
}
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */
gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);
printf("swp out bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
}
Testing is done on rk3568 64bit Quad Core Cortex-A55 platform -
ROCK 3A.
thp swp throughput w/o patch: 2734bytes/ms (mean of 10 tests)
