The allocation algorithm enforces equal frequency distribution of cache partitions, following the coloring configuration of a domain. This allows for an even utilization of cache sets for every domain. Pages are stored in a color-indexed array of lists. Those lists are filled by a simple init function which computes the color of each page. When a domain requests a page, the allocator extract the page from the list with the maximum number of free pages between those that the domain can access, given its coloring configuration. The allocator can only handle requests of order-0 pages. This allows for easier implementation and since cache coloring targets only embedded systems, it's assumed not to be a major problem. The buddy allocator must coexist with the colored one because the Xen heap isn't colored. For this reason a new Kconfig option and a command line parameter are added to let the user set the amount of memory reserved for the buddy allocator. Even when cache coloring is enabled, this memory isn't managed by the colored allocator. Colored heap information is dumped in the dump_heap() debug-key function. Based on original work from: Luca Miccio Signed-off-by: Marco Solieri Signed-off-by: Carlo Nonato --- v7: - requests to alloc_color_heap_page() now fail if MEMF_bits is used v6: - colored allocator functions are now static v5: - Carlo Nonato as the new author - the colored allocator balances color usage for each domain and it searches linearly only in the number of colors (FIXME removed) - addedd scrub functionality - removed stub functions (still requires some macro definition) - addr_to_color turned to mfn_to_color for easier operations - removed BUG_ON in init_color_heap_pages() in favor of panic() - only non empty page lists are logged in dump_color_heap() v4: - moved colored allocator code after buddy allocator because it now has some dependencies on buddy functions - buddy_alloc_size is now used only by the colored allocator - fixed a bug that allowed the buddy to merge pages when they were colored - free_color_heap_page() now calls mark_page_free() - free_color_heap_page() uses of the frametable array for faster searches - added FIXME comment for the linear search in free_color_heap_page() - removed alloc_color_domheap_page() to let the colored allocator exploit some more buddy allocator code - alloc_color_heap_page() now allocs min address pages first - reduced the mess in end_boot_allocator(): use the first loop for init_color_heap_pages() - fixed page_list_add_prev() (list.h) since it was doing the opposite of what it was supposed to do - fixed page_list_add_prev() (non list.h) to check also for next existence - removed unused page_list_add_next() - moved p2m code in another patch --- docs/misc/cache-coloring.rst | 37 ++++++ docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc | 14 +++ xen/arch/Kconfig | 8 ++ xen/arch/arm/include/asm/mm.h | 5 + xen/common/llc-coloring.c | 13 ++ xen/common/page_alloc.c | 196 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- xen/include/xen/llc-coloring.h | 4 + 7 files changed, 271 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/misc/cache-coloring.rst b/docs/misc/cache-coloring.rst index 028aecda28..50b6d94ffc 100644 --- a/docs/misc/cache-coloring.rst +++ b/docs/misc/cache-coloring.rst @@ -11,6 +11,9 @@ To compile LLC coloring support set ``CONFIG_LLC_COLORING=y``.
