[RFC PATCH 6/7] execmem: add support for cache of large ROX pages
Mike Rapoport

Thu Apr 11 09:05:25 PDT 2024
From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>
Using large pages to map text areas reduces iTLB pressure and improves
performance.
Extend execmem_alloc() with an ability to use PMD_SIZE'ed pages with ROX
permissions as a cache for smaller allocations.
To populate the cache, a writable large page is allocated from vmalloc with
VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP, filled with invalid instructions and then remapped as
ROX.
Portions of that large page are handed out to execmem_alloc() callers
without any changes to the permissions.
When the memory is freed with execmem_free() it is invalidated again so
that it won't contain stale instructions.
The cache is enabled when an architecture sets EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE flag in
definition of an execmem_range.
