From: Andrew Hunter Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 18:07:03 +0000 (-0700) Subject: perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of x86_schedule_events() X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43b4578071c0e6d87761e113e05d45776cc75437;p=linux-beck.git perf/x86: Reduce stack usage of x86_schedule_events() x86_schedule_events() caches event constraints on the stack during scheduling. Given the number of possible events, this is 512 bytes of stack; since it can be invoked under schedule() under god-knows-what, this is causing stack blowouts. Trade some space usage for stack safety: add a place to cache the constraint pointer to struct perf_event. For 8 bytes per event (1% of its size) we can save the giant stack frame. This shouldn't change any aspect of scheduling whatsoever and while in theory the locality's a tiny bit worse, I doubt we'll see any performance impact either. Tested: `perf stat whatever` does not blow up and produces results that aren't hugely obviously wrong. I'm not sure how to run particularly good tests of perf code, but this should not produce any functional change whatsoever.
