Instead of using a hash table to convert physical page addresses to offsets in the sparse page array, cache the number of bits set for each 4MB chunk of physical pages. Upon lookup, find the nearest cached population count, then add/subtract the number of bits from that point to the page's PTE bit. Then multiply by page size and add to the sparse page map's base offset. This replaces O(n) worst-case lookup with O(1) (plus a small number of bits to scan in the bitmap). Also, for a 128GB system, a typical kernel core of about 8GB will now only require ~4.5MB of RAM for this approach instead of ~48MB as with the hash table. More concretely, /usr/sbin/crashinfo against the same core improves from a max RSS of 188MB and wall time of 43.72s (33.25 user 2.94 sys) to 135MB and 9.43s (2.58 user 1.47 sys). Running "thread apply all bt" in kgdb has a similar RSS improvement, and wall time drops from 4.44s to 1.93s. Reviewed by: jhb Sponsored by: Backtrace I/O
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
