kmacy abandoned D15231: create straightforward EBR wrapper with rudimentary support for preemption.

One needs to Jeff's uncommitted locking changes to see any benefit from this if one touches any pages in the mapping and even then it's only a ~20% win because there is then so much contention on the vm page queue mutex. Jeff is hesitant to sink too much energy in to this on behalf of a microbenchmark. There are clear wins to be had elsewhere without the complexity and risk of VM, so dropping this for now.

How does an event description from the json tables is matched against the index from pmc_events.h ?

It works so long as the FreeBSD version was named correctly. I have an aliases table pmu_utils.c for things like UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES and LLC_MISSES. If the table lookup fails it will just use the default sampling rate that is used on HEAD. Ultimately, on supported architectures I'd like to switch from using the ad hoc defines in pmc_events.h to using the json tables from Intel, IBM, and Cavium.

So did you verified that the name matches ? What are the plan for non-matching names ?

Hi Andi -
Thanks for the prompt response. I will definitely be taking a look at the upstream version. All I've done so far is add table generation to the build process and use the generated tables to provide sane default sampling rates . https://reviews.freebsd.org/D15275

kmacy added a comment to D15231: create straightforward EBR wrapper with rudimentary support for preemption.

@kib Thanks. If I touch a page in the mapping that would be more representative correct? Page faults appear to be globally serialized by the per-domain reservations mutex, so that would likely scale no better than the no-op case without your change or mine.

@markj you can find my attempt at that here https://github.com/mattmacy/networking/tree/projects/witnessfix2 -- you can have a go at it. If you don't have the time / inclination I'd _really_ appreciate it if we didn't let the best become the enemy of the good. If we want stacks of reversals we can comment out blessed entries.

Why not set WITNESS_BLESSED when the first reversal is detected, and have blessed() return true if WITNESS_BLESSED is set? Then the implementation will still be cheap and we could retain the option of logging the stacks, so investigating the reversals will be easier.
