ipc/compat.c: remove sc_semopm macro

This macro appears to have been introduced back in the 2.5 era for
semtimedop32 backward compatibility on ia32:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2003/4/28/78

Nowadays, this syscall in compat just defaults back to the code found in
sem.c, so it is no longer used and can thus be removed:

long compat_sys_semtimedop(int semid, struct sembuf __user *tsems,
unsigned nsops, const struct compat_timespec __user *timeout)
{
struct timespec __user *ts64;
if (compat_convert_timespec(&ts64, timeout))
return -EFAULT;
return sys_semtimedop(semid, tsems, nsops, ts64);
}

Furthermore, there are no users in compat.c.  After this change, kernel
builds just fine with both CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT and CONFIG_SYSVIPC.

code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would
otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a

In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop

kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

rapidio: rework device hierarchy and introduce mport class of devices

This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes
actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices.
It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip
or an eternal bridge, known as "mport").

Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have
a single RapidIO controller.  With introduction of devices using
multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme
is very limiting or does not work at all.  The implemented changes allow
to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide
device details needed for upper layers.

This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known
existing kernel or user space interfaces.

example, one offlined a cpu but never restarted kdump service, and after
crash, PT_NOTE program header is there but no data contains.  It's
better to warn about the empty PT_NOTE and continue to initialise
vmcore.

And ultimately the multiple PT_NOTE are merged into a single one, all

10 years agowait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by another process
Oleg Nesterov [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:38:49 +0000 (15:38 -0700)]
wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED doesn't work if a zombie leader is traced by another process

Even if the main thread is dead the process still can stop/continue.
However, if the leader is ptraced wait_consider_task(ptrace => false)
always skips wait_task_stopped/wait_task_continued, so WSTOPPED or
WCONTINUED can never work for the natural parent in this case.

Move the "A zombie ptracee is only visible to its ptracer" check into the
"if (!delay_group_leader(p))" block.  ->notask_error is cleared by the
"fall through" code below.

This depends on the previous change, wait_task_stopped/continued must be
avoided if !delay_group_leader() and the tracer is ->real_parent.
Otherwise WSTOPPED|WEXITED could wrongly report "stopped" when the child
is already dead (single-threaded or not).  If it is traced by another task
then the "stopped" state is fine until the debugger detaches and reveals a
zombie state.

Stupid test-case:

void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
sleep(1); // wait for zombie leader
raise(SIGSTOP);
exit(0x13);
return NULL;
}

int run_child(void)
{
pthread_t thread;

if (!fork()) {
int tracee = getppid();

assert(ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, tracee, 0,0) == 0);
do
ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, tracee, 0,0);
while (wait(NULL) > 0);

return 0;
}

sleep(1); // wait for PTRACE_ATTACH
assert(pthread_create(&thread, NULL, tfunc, NULL) == 0);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main(void)
{
int child, stat;

child = fork();
if (!child)
return run_child();

assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WSTOPPED));
assert(stat == 0x137f);

kill(child, SIGCONT);

assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, WCONTINUED));
assert(stat == 0xffff);

assert(child == waitpid(-1, &stat, 0));
assert(stat == 0x1300);

return 0;
}

Without this patch it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED), wait_task_stopped() is
never called.

Note: this doesn't fix all problems with a zombie delay_group_leader(),
WCONTINUED | WEXITED check is not exactly right.  debugger can't assume it
will be notified if another thread reaps the whole thread group.

wait: WSTOPPED|WCONTINUED hangs if a zombie child is traced by real_parent

"A zombie is only visible to its ptracer" logic in wait_consider_task()
is very wrong. Trivial test-case:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/ptrace.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <assert.h>

int main(void)
{
int child = fork();

if (!child) {
assert(ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0,0,0) == 0);
return 0x23;
}

assert(waitid(P_ALL, child, NULL, WEXITED | WNOWAIT) == 0);
assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WSTOPPED) == -1);
return 0;
}

it hangs in waitpid(WSTOPPED) despite the fact it has a single zombie
child.  This is because wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) sees p->ptrace and
cleares ->notask_error assuming that the debugger should detach and notify
us.

Change wait_consider_task(ptrace => 0) to pretend that ptrace == T if the
child is traced by us.  This really simplifies the logic and allows us to
do more fixes, see the next changes.  This also hides the unwanted group
stop state automatically, we can remove another ptrace_reparented() check.

Unfortunately, this adds the following behavioural changes:

1. Before this patch wait(WEXITED | __WNOTHREAD) does not reap
   a natural child if it is traced by the caller's sub-thread.

   Hopefully nobody will ever notice this change, and I think
   that nobody should rely on this behaviour anyway.

2. SIGNAL_STOP_CONTINUED is no longer hidden from debugger if
   it is real parent.

   While this change comes as a side effect, I think it is good
   by itself. The group continued state can not be consumed by
   another process in this case, it doesn't depend on ptrace,
   it doesn't make sense to hide it from real parent.

   Perhaps we should add the thread_group_leader() check before
   wait_task_continued()? May be, but this shouldn't depend on
   ptrace_reparented().

   reports "X (dead)" in this case.

   Note: with or without this change userspace can see Z -> X -> Z

3. Revert the previous hack in reparent_leader(), now that EXIT_DEAD

4. Change wait_consider_task() to check EXIT_TRACE separately and kill
   the racy and no longer needed ptrace_reparented() case.

   If ptrace == T an EXIT_TRACE thread should be simply ignored, the
   owner of this state is going to ptrace_unlink() this task. We can
   pretend that it was already removed from ->ptraced list.

   Otherwise we should skip this thread too but clear ->notask_error,
   we must be the natural parent and debugger is going to untrace and

kernel/exit.c: call proc_exit_connector() after exit_state is set

The process events connector delivers a notification when a process
exits.  This is really convenient for a process that spawns and wants to
monitor its children through an epoll-able() interface.

Unfortunately, there is a small window between when the event is
delivered and the child become wait()-able.

This is creates a race if the parent wants to make sure that it knows
about the exit, e.g

pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid > 0) {
register_interest_for_pid(pid);
if (waitpid(pid, NULL, WNOHANG) > 0)
{
  /* We might have raced with exit() */
}
return;
}

/* Child */
execve(...)

register_interest_for_pid() would be telling the the connector socket
reader to pay attention to events related to pid.

Though this is not a bug, I think it would make the connector a bit more
usable if this race was closed by simply moving the call to
proc_exit_connector() from just before exit_notify() to right after.

Oleg said:

: Even with this patch the code above is still "racy" if the child is
: multi-threaded.  Plus it should obviously filter-out subthreads.  And
: afaics there is no way to make it reliable, even if you change the code
: above so that waitpid() is called only after the last thread exits WNOHANG
: still can fail.

mm/zswap: support multiple swap devices

Cai Liu reporeted that now zbud pool pages counting has a problem when
multiple swap is used because it just counts only one swap intead of all
of swap so zswap cannot control writeback properly.  The result is
unnecessary writeback or no writeback when we should really writeback.

IOW, it made zswap crazy.

Another problem in zswap is:

For example, let's assume we use two swap A and B with different
priority and A already has charged 19% long time ago and let's assume
that A swap is full now so VM start to use B so that B has charged 1%
recently.  It menas zswap charged (19% + 1%) is full by default.  Then,
if VM want to swap out more pages into B, zbud_reclaim_page would be
evict one of pages in B's pool and it would be repeated continuously.
It's totally LRU reverse problem and swap thrashing in B would happen.

This patch makes zswap consider mutliple swap by creating *a* zbud pool
which will be shared by multiple swap so all of zswap pages in multiple
swap keep order by LRU so it can prevent above two problems.

zram: support REQ_DISCARD

zram is ram based block device and can be used by backend of filesystem.
When filesystem deletes a file, it normally doesn't do anything on data
block of that file.  It just marks on metadata of that file.  This
behavior has no problem on disk based block device, but has problems on
ram based block device, since we can't free memory used for data block.
To overcome this disadvantage, there is REQ_DISCARD functionality.  If
block device support REQ_DISCARD and filesystem is mounted with discard
option, filesystem sends REQ_DISCARD to block device whenever some data
blocks are discarded.  All we have to do is to handle this request.

This patch implements to flag up QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD and handle this
REQ_DISCARD request.  With it, we can free memory used by zram if it isn't
used.

10 years agozram: add multi stream functionality
Sergey Senozhatsky [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:38:14 +0000 (15:38 -0700)]
zram: add multi stream functionality

Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream
(buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data
corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression
stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock
to be released.  This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams
list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr).  Each write operation
still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we
can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list)
executing in parallel.  See TEST section later in commit message for
performance data.

Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage
zcomp_strm stream access.  zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle
zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making
it possible to perform parallel compressions.

The following set of functions added:
- zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
  find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
- zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy()
  create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi

zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during
initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
correspondingly.

Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set
of operations performed:

- spin lock strm_lock
- if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin
  unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller
- if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be
  awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller.

zcomp_strm_multi_release():
- spin lock strm_lock
- add zcomp stream to idle list
- spin unlock, wake up sleeper

Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated
a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case,

When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner
tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up().  This
is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking.

Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams.  This
attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams
(max_strm).  Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter.
`max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression
backend's idle list (max_comp_streams).

max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows:
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp
using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking).
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp
using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking).

default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream
will be initialised.

Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams
on already initialised and used zcomp.

zcomp_strm stream access.  zcomp_strm_single implements single compession
stream, same way as current zcomp implementation.  This moves zcomp_strm
stream control and locking from zcomp, so compressing backend zcomp is not

Single and multi streams require different locking schemes.  Minchan Kim

implementation) has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single

10 years agozram: introduce compressing backend abstraction
Sergey Senozhatsky [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:38:11 +0000 (15:38 -0700)]
zram: introduce compressing backend abstraction

ZRAM performs direct LZO compression algorithm calls, making it the one
and only option.  While LZO is generally performs well, LZ4 algorithm
tends to have a faster decompression (see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
for full report)

Name            Ratio  C.speed D.speed
                        MB/s    MB/s
LZ4 (r101)      2.084    422    1820
LZO 2.06        2.106    414     600

Thus, users who have mostly read (decompress) usage scenarious or mixed
workflow (writes with relatively high read ops number) will benefit from
using LZ4 compression backend.

Introduce compressing backend abstraction zcomp in order to support
multiple compression algorithms with the following set of operations:

        .create
        .destroy
        .compress
        .decompress

Schematically zram write() usually contains the following steps:
0) preparation (decompression of partioal IO, etc.)
1) lock buffer_lock mutex (protects meta compress buffers)
2) compress (using meta compress buffers)
3) alloc and map zs_pool object
4) copy compressed data (from meta compress buffers) to object allocated by 3)
5) free previous pool page, assign a new one
6) unlock buffer_lock mutex

As we can see, compressing buffers must remain untouched from 1) to 4),
because, otherwise, concurrent write() can overwrite data.  At the same
time, zram_meta must be aware of a) specific compression algorithm memory
requirements and b) necessary locking to protect compression buffers.  To
remove requirement a) new struct zcomp_strm introduced, which contains a
compress/decompress `buffer' and compression algorithm `private' part.
While struct zcomp implements zcomp_strm stream handling and locking and
removes requirement b) from zram meta.  zcomp ->create() and ->destroy(),
respectively, allocate and deallocate algorithm specific zcomp_strm
`private' part.

Every zcomp has zcomp stream and mutex to protect its compression stream.
Stream usage semantics remains the same -- only one write can hold stream
lock and use its buffers.  zcomp_strm_find() turns caller into exclusive
user of a stream (holding stream mutex until zram release stream), and
zcomp_strm_release() makes zcomp stream available (unlock the stream
mutex).  Hence no concurrent write (compression) operations possible at
the moment.

10 years agomm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOL
John Hubbard [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:37:59 +0000 (15:37 -0700)]
mm/page_alloc.c: change mm debug routines back to EXPORT_SYMBOL

A new dump_page() routine was recently added, and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.  dump_page() was also added to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE()
macro, and so the end result is that non-GPL code can no longer call
get_page() and a few other routines.

This only happens if the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

Change dump_page() to be EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Longer explanation:

Prior to commit 309381feaee5 ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON
using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") , it was possible to build MIT-licensed (non-GPL)
drivers on Fedora.  Fedora is semi-unique, in that it sets
CONFIG_VM_DEBUG.

Because Fedora sets CONFIG_VM_DEBUG, they end up pulling in dump_page(),
via VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, via get_page().  As one of the authors of NVIDIA's
new, open source, "UVM-Lite" kernel module, I originally choose to use
the kernel's get_page() routine from within nvidia_uvm_page_cache.c,
because get_page() has always seemed to be very clearly intended for use
by non-GPL, driver code.

So I'm hoping that making get_page() widely accessible again will not be
too controversial.  We did check with Fedora first, and they responded
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1074710#c3) that we should
try to get upstream changed, before asking Fedora to change.  Their
reasoning seems beneficial to Linux: leaving CONFIG_DEBUG_VM set allows
Fedora to help catch mm bugs.

10 years agonuma: use LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT to calculate LAST_CPUPID_MASK

numa: use LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT to calculate LAST_CPUPID_MASK

LAST_CPUPID_MASK is calculated using LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.  However
LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH itself can be 0.  (when LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS is
set).  In such a case LAST_CPUPID_MASK turns out to be 0.

But with recent commit 1ae71d0319: (mm: numa: bugfix for
LAST_CPUPID_NOT_IN_PAGE_FLAGS) if LAST_CPUPID_MASK is 0,
page_cpupid_xchg_last() and page_cpupid_reset_last() causes
page->_last_cpupid to be set to 0.

This causes performance regression. Its almost as if numa_balancing is
off.

Fix LAST_CPUPID_MASK by using LAST_CPUPID_SHIFT instead of
LAST_CPUPID_WIDTH.

mm: hugetlb: fix softlockup when a large number of hugepages are freed.

When I decrease the value of nr_hugepage in procfs a lot, softlockup
happens.  It is because there is no chance of context switch during this
process.

On the other hand, when I allocate a large number of hugepages, there is
some chance of context switch.  Hence softlockup doesn't happen during
this process.  So it's necessary to add the context switch in the
freeing process as same as allocating process to avoid softlockup.

When I freed 12 TB hugapages with kernel-2.6.32-358.el6, the freeing
process occupied a CPU over 150 seconds and following softlockup message
appeared twice or more.

I have not confirmed this problem with upstream kernels because I am not
able to prepare the machine equipped with 12TB memory now.  However I
confirmed that the amount of decreasing hugepages was directly
proportional to the amount of required time.

I measured required times on a smaller machine.  It showed 130-145

It means decrement of 6TB hugepages will trigger softlockup with the
default threshold 20sec, in this decreasing rate.

mm: try_to_unmap_cluster() should lock_page() before mlocking

A BUG_ON(!PageLocked) was triggered in mlock_vma_page() by Sasha Levin
fuzzing with trinity.  The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() does not lock
the pages other than its check_page parameter (which is already locked).

The BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() is not documented and its purpose is
somewhat unclear, but apparently it serializes against page migration,
which could otherwise fail to transfer the PG_mlocked flag.  This would
not be fatal, as the page would be eventually encountered again, but
NR_MLOCK accounting would become distorted nevertheless.  This patch adds
a comment to the BUG_ON in mlock_vma_page() and munlock_vma_page() to that
effect.

The call site try_to_unmap_cluster() is fixed so that for page !=
check_page, trylock_page() is attempted (to avoid possible deadlocks as we
already have check_page locked) and mlock_vma_page() is performed only
upon success.  If the page lock cannot be obtained, the page is left
without PG_mlocked, which is again not a problem in the whole unevictable

10 years agomm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd

mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking kswapd

On NUMA systems, a node may start thrashing cache or even swap anonymous
pages while there are still free pages on remote nodes.

This is a result of commits 81c0a2bb515f ("mm: page_alloc: fair zone
allocator policy") and fff4068cba48 ("mm: page_alloc: revert NUMA aspect
of fair allocation policy").

Before those changes, the allocator would first try all allowed zones,
including those on remote nodes, before waking any kswapds.  But now,
the allocator fastpath doubles as the fairness pass, which in turn can
only consider the local node to prevent remote spilling based on
exhausted fairness batches alone.  Remote nodes are only considered in
the slowpath, after the kswapds are woken up.  But if remote nodes still
have free memory, kswapd should not be woken to rebalance the local node
or it may thrash cash or swap prematurely.

Fix this by adding one more unfair pass over the zonelist that is
allowed to spill to remote nodes after the local fairness pass fails but
before entering the slowpath and waking the kswapds.

This also gets rid of the GFP_THISNODE exemption from the fairness
protocol because the unfair pass is no longer tied to kswapd, which
GFP_THISNODE is not allowed to wake up.

However, because remote spills can be more frequent now - we prefer them
over local kswapd reclaim - the allocation batches on remote nodes could
underflow more heavily.  When resetting the batches, use
atomic_long_read() directly instead of zone_page_state() to calculate the
delta as the latter filters negative counter values.

10 years agomm/vmalloc.c: enhance vm_map_ram() comment
Gioh Kim [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:37:37 +0000 (15:37 -0700)]
mm/vmalloc.c: enhance vm_map_ram() comment

vm_map_ram() has a fragmentation problem when it cannot purge a
chunk(ie, 4M address space) if there is a pinning object in that
addresss space.  So it could consume all VMALLOC address space easily.

We can fix the fragmentation problem by using vmap instead of
vm_map_ram() but vmap() is known to be slow compared to vm_map_ram().
Minchan said vm_map_ram is 5 times faster than vmap in his tests.  So I
thought we should fix fragment problem of vm_map_ram because our
proprietary GPU driver has used it heavily.

On second thought, it's not an easy because we should reuse freed space
for solving the problem and it could make more IPI and bitmap operation
for searching hole.  It could mitigate API's goal which is very fast
mapping.  And even fragmentation problem wouldn't show in 64 bit
machine.

Another option is that the user should separate long-life and short-life
object and use vmap for long-life but vm_map_ram for short-life.  If we
inform the user about the characteristic of vm_map_ram the user can
choose one according to the page lifetime.

Let's add some notice messages to user.

10 years agomm: per-thread vma caching
Davidlohr Bueso [Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:37:25 +0000 (15:37 -0700)]
mm: per-thread vma caching

This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.

We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.

The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:

1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
   scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
   the cache.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
| patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
   approach as we're dealing with good locality.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
| patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
| patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
   approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
   about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
   anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
   reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
| patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |
