Current UMA internals are not suited for efficient operation in
multi-socket environments. In particular there is very common use of
MAXCPU arrays and other fields which are not always properly aligned and
are not local for target threads (apart from the first node of course).
Turns out the existing UMA_ALIGN macro can be used to mostly work around
the problem until the code get fixed. The current setting of 64 bytes
runs into trouble when adjacent cache line prefetcher gets to work.
An example 128-way benchmark doing a lot of malloc/frees has the following
instruction samples:
before:
kernel`lf_advlockasync+0x43b 32940
kernel`malloc+0xe5 42380
kernel`bzero+0x19 47798
kernel`spinlock_exit+0x26 60423
kernel`0xffffffff80 78238
0x0 136947
kernel`uma_zfree_arg+0x46 159594
kernel`uma_zalloc_arg+0x672 180556
kernel`uma_zfree_arg+0x2a 459923
kernel`uma_zalloc_arg+0x5ec 489910
after:
kernel`bzero+0xd 46115
kernel`lf_advlockasync+0x25f 46134
kernel`lf_advlockasync+0x38a 49078
kernel`fget_unlocked+0xd1 49942
kernel`lf_advlockasync+0x43b 55392
kernel`copyin+0x4a 56963
kernel`bzero+0x19 81983
kernel`spinlock_exit+0x26 91889
kernel`0xffffffff80 136357
0x0 239424

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 https://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 https://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.
