From 044aea9b83614948c98564000db07d1d32b2d29b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 19 May 2011 18:59:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] selinux: de-crapify avc cache stat code generation You can turn off the avc cache stats, but distributions seem to not do that (perhaps because several performance tuning how-to's talk about the avc cache statistics). Which is sad, because the code it generates is truly horrendous, with the statistics update being sandwitched between get_cpu/put_cpu which in turn causes preemption disables etc. We're talking ten+ instructions just to increment a per-cpu variable in some pretty hot code. Fix the craziness by just using 'this_cpu_inc()' instead. Suddenly we only need a single 'inc' instruction to increment the statistics. This is quite noticeable in the incredibly hot avc_has_perm_noaudit() function (which triggers all the statistics by virtue of doing an avc_lookup() call).
