[PATCH v2] ACPI: Drop rcu usage for MMIO mappings

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu May 07 2020 - 19:55:41 EST


Recently a performance problem was reported for a process invoking a
non-trival ASL program. The method call in this case ends up
repetitively triggering a call path like:

acpi_ex_store
acpi_ex_store_object_to_node
acpi_ex_write_data_to_field
acpi_ex_insert_into_field
acpi_ex_write_with_update_rule
acpi_ex_field_datum_io
acpi_ex_access_region
acpi_ev_address_space_dispatch
acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler
acpi_os_map_cleanup.part.14
_synchronize_rcu_expedited.constprop.89
schedule

The end result of frequent synchronize_rcu_expedited() invocation is
tiny sub-millisecond spurts of execution where the scheduler freely
migrates this apparently sleepy task. The overhead of frequent scheduler
invocation multiplies the execution time by a factor of 2-3X.

For example, performance improves from 16 minutes to 7 minutes for a
firmware update procedure across 24 devices.

Perhaps the rcu usage was intended to allow for not taking a sleeping
lock in the acpi_os_{read,write}_memory() path which ostensibly could be
called from an APEI NMI error interrupt? Neither rcu_read_lock() nor
ioremap() are interrupt safe, so add a WARN_ONCE() to validate that rcu
was not serving as a mechanism to avoid direct calls to ioremap(). Even
the original implementation had a spin_lock_irqsave(), but that is not
NMI safe.

APEI itself already has some concept of avoiding ioremap() from
interrupt context (see erst_exec_move_data()), if the new warning
triggers it means that APEI either needs more instrumentation like that
to pre-emptively fail, or more infrastructure to arrange for pre-mapping
the resources it needs in NMI context.
