64 bit:
Set up a cpu area that allows the use of up 16MB for each processor.
Cpu memory use can grow a bit. F.e. if we assume that a pageset
occupies 64 bytes of memory and we have 3 zones in each of 1024 nodes
then we need 3 * 1k * 16k = 50 million pagesets or 3096 pagesets per
processor. This results in a total of 3.2 GB of page structs.
Each cpu needs around 200k of cpu storage for the page allocator alone.
So its a worth it to use a 2M huge mapping here.
For the UP and SMP case map the area using 4k ptes. Typical use of per cpu
data is around 16k for UP and SMP configurations. It goes up to 45k when the
per cpu area is managed by cpu_alloc (see special x86_64 patchset).
Allocating in 2M segments would be overkill.
For NUMA map the area using 2M PMDs. A large NUMA system may use
lots of cpu data for the page allocator data alone. We typically
have large amounts of memory around on those size. Using a 2M page size
reduces TLB pressure for that case.
Some numbers for envisioned maximum configurations of NUMA systems:
4k cpu configurations with 1k nodes:
4096 * 16MB = 64TB of virtual space.
Maximum theoretical configuration 16384 processors 1k nodes:
16384 * 16MB = 256TB of virtual space.
Both fit within the established limits established.
32 bit:
Setup a 256 kB area for the cpu areas below the FIXADDR area.
The use of the cpu alloc area is pretty minimal on i386. An 8p system
with no extras uses only ~8kb. So 256kb should be plenty. A configuration
that supports up to 8 processors takes up 2MB of the scarce
virtual address space
