mm/highmem: remove deprecated kmap_atomic
kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Replace the uses of kmap_atomic() within the highmem code.
On profiling clear_huge_page() using ftrace an improvement of 62% was
observed on the below setup.
Setup:-
Below data has been collected on Qualcomm's SM7250 SoC THP enabled
(kernel v4.19.113) with only CPU-0(Cortex-A55) and CPU-7(Cortex-A76)
switched on and set to max frequency, also DDR set to perf governor.
FTRACE Data:-
Base data:-
Number of iterations: 48
Mean of allocation time: 349.5 us
std deviation: 74.5 us
v4 data:-
Number of iterations: 48
Mean of allocation time: 131 us
std deviation: 32.7 us
The following simple userspace experiment to allocate
100MB(BUF_SZ) of pages and writing to it gave us a good insight,
we observed an improvement of 42% in allocation and writing timings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Test code snippet
-------------------------------------------------------------
clock_start();
buf = malloc(BUF_SZ); /* Allocate 100 MB of memory */
for(i=0; i < BUF_SZ_PAGES; i++)
{
*((int *)(buf + (i*PAGE_SIZE))) = 1;
}
clock_end();
-------------------------------------------------------------
Malloc test timings for 100MB anon allocation:-
Base data:-
Number of iterations: 100
Mean of allocation time: 31831 us
std deviation: 4286 us
v4 data:-
Number of iterations: 100
Mean of allocation time: 18193 us
std deviation: 4915 us
