SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

config MMU
bool "MMU support"
help
This options switches on and off support for the FR-V MMU
(effectively switching between vmlinux and uClinux). Not all FR-V
CPUs support this. Currently only the FR451 has a sufficiently
featured MMU.
config FRV_OUTOFLINE_ATOMIC_OPS
bool "Out-of-line the FRV atomic operations"

help
Setting this option causes the FR-V atomic operations to be mostly
implemented out-of-line.
See Documentation/fujitsu/frv/atomic-ops.txt for more information.
config HIGHMEM
bool "High memory support"
depends on MMU
default y
help
If you wish to use more than 256MB of memory with your MMU based
system, you will need to select this option. The kernel can only see
the memory between 0xC0000000 and 0xD0000000 directly... everything
else must be kmapped.
The arch is, however, capable of supporting up to 3GB of SDRAM.
config HIGHPTE
bool "Allocate page tables in highmem"
depends on HIGHMEM
default y
help
The VM uses one page of memory for each page table. For systems
with a lot of RAM, this can be wasteful of precious low memory.
Setting this option will put user-space page tables in high memory.

default UCPAGE_OFFSET_C0000000
help
This option sets the base address for the uClinux kernel. The kernel
will rearrange the SDRAM layout to start at this address, and move
itself to start there. It must be greater than 0, and it must be
sufficiently less than 0xE0000000 that the SDRAM does not intersect
the I/O region.
The base address must also be aligned such that the SDRAM controller
can decode it. For instance, a 512MB SDRAM bank must be 512MB aligned.

prevent userspace accessing the underlying memory directly.
choice
prompt "CPU Caching mode"
default FRV_DEFL_CACHE_WBACK
help
This option determines the default caching mode for the kernel.
Write-Back caching mode involves the all reads and writes causing
the affected cacheline to be read into the cache first before being
operated upon. Memory is not then updated by a write until the cache
is filled and a cacheline needs to be displaced from the cache to
make room. Only at that point is it written back.
Write-Behind caching is similar to Write-Back caching, except that a
write won't fetch a cacheline into the cache if there isn't already
one there; it will write directly to memory instead.
Write-Through caching only fetches cachelines from memory on a
read. Writes always get written directly to memory. If the affected
cacheline is also in cache, it will be updated too.
The final option is to turn of caching entirely.
Note that not all CPUs support Write-Behind caching. If the CPU on
which the kernel is running doesn't, it'll fall back to Write-Back
caching.

prompt "GP-Relative data support"
default GPREL_DATA_8
help
This option controls what data, if any, should be placed in the GP
relative data sections. Using this means that the compiler can
generate accesses to the data using GR16-relative addressing which
is faster than absolute instructions and saves space (2 instructions
per access).
However, the GPREL region is limited in size because the immediate
value used in the load and store instructions is limited to a 12-bit
signed number.
So if the linker starts complaining that accesses to GPREL data are
out of range, try changing this option from the default.
Note that modules will always be compiled with this feature disabled
as the module data will not be in range of the GP base address.

Some FR-V systems (such as the MB93090-MB00 VDK) have PCI
onboard. If you have one of these boards and you wish to use the PCI
facilities, say Y here.
The PCI-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
information about which PCI hardware does work under Linux and which
doesn't.
config RESERVE_DMA_COHERENT
bool "Reserve DMA coherent memory"
depends on PCI && !MMU
default y
help
Many PCI drivers require access to uncached memory for DMA device
communications (such as is done with some Ethernet buffer rings). If
a fully featured MMU is available, this can be done through page
table settings, but if not, a region has to be set aside and marked
with a special DAMPR register.
Setting this option causes uClinux to set aside a portion of the
available memory for use in this manner. The memory will then be
unavailable for normal kernel use.
