selftests/vm: 10x speedup for hmm-tests

2020-10-18T16:27:09+00:00

This patch reduces the running time for hmm-tests from about 10+ seconds,
to just under 1.0 second, for an approximately 10x speedup.  That brings
it in line with most of the other tests in selftests/vm, which mostly run
in < 1 sec.

This is done with a one-line change that simply reduces the number of
iterations of several tests, from 256, to 10.  Thanks to Ralph Campbell
for suggesting changing NTIMES as a way to get the speedup.

   test output is redirected to a file.

selftests/vm: 8x compaction_test speedup

2020-10-14T01:38:34+00:00

This patch reduces the running time for compaction_test from about 27 sec,
to 3.3 sec, which is about an 8x speedup.

These numbers are for an Intel x86_64 system with 32 GB of DRAM.

The compaction_test.c program was spending most of its time doing mmap(),
1 MB at a time, on about 25 GB of memory.

Instead, do the mmaps 100 MB at a time.  (Going past 100 MB doesn't make
things go much faster, because other parts of the program are using the
remaining time.)

tools/testing/selftests/vm/hmm-tests.c: use the new SKIP() macro

Some tests might not be able to be run if resources like huge pages are
not available.  Mark these tests as skipped instead of simply passing.

selftests/vm: fix incorrect gcc invocation in some cases

2020-10-14T01:38:31+00:00

Avoid accidental wrong builds, due to built-in rules working just a little
bit too well--but not quite as well as required for our situation here.

In other words, "make userfaultfd" (for example) is supposed to fail to
build at all, because this Makefile only supports either "make" (all), or
"make /full/path".  However, the built-in rules, if not suppressed, will
pick up CFLAGS and the initial LDLIBS (but not the target-specific LDLIBS,
because those are only set for the full path target!).  This causes it to
get pretty far into building things despite using incorrect values such as
an *occasionally* incomplete LDLIBS value.

selftests/vm: fix false build success on the second and later attempts

2020-10-14T01:38:31+00:00

Patch series "selftests/vm: fix some minor aggravating factors in the Makefile".

This fixes a couple of minor aggravating factors that I ran across while
trying to do some changes in selftests/vm.  These are simple things, but
like most things with GNU Make, it's rarely obvious what's wrong until you
understand *the entire Makefile and all of its includes*.

So while there is, of course, joy in learning those details, I thought I'd
fix these little things, so as to allow others to skip out on the Joy if
they so choose.  :)

First of all, if you have an item (let's choose userfaultfd for an
example) that fails to build, you might do this:

$ make -j32

    # ...you observe a failed item in the threaded output

# OK, let's get a closer look

$ make
    # ...but now the build quietly "succeeds".

That's what Patch 0001 fixes.

Second, if you instead attempt this approach for your closer look (a casual
mistake, as it's not supported):

$ make userfaultfd

    # ...userfaultfd fails to link, due to incomplete LDLIBS

That's what Patch 0002 fixes.

This patch (of 2):

If one or more of these selftest fail to build, then after the first
failure, subsequent invocations of "make" will make it appear that there
are no build failures, after all.

That's because the failed build products remain, with up-to-date
timestamps, thus tricking Make (and you!) into believing that there's
nothing else to build.

Fix this by telling Make to delete targets that didn't completely
succeed.

mm/gup_benchmark: use pin_user_pages for FOLL_LONGTERM flag

2020-10-14T01:38:29+00:00

According to Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, FOLL_PIN is a
prerequisite to FOLL_LONGTERM.  Another way of saying that is,
FOLL_LONGTERM is a specific case, more restrictive case of FOLL_PIN.

Almost all kernel modules are using pin_user_pages() with FOLL_LONGTERM,
mm/gup_benchmark.c seems to the only exception in which FOLL_PIN is not a
prerequisite to FOLL_LONGTERM.
