Peng Zhang ed9b660cd1 BACKPORT: FROMGIT fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()
In dup_mmap(), using __mt_dup() to duplicate the old maple tree and then
directly replacing the entries of VMAs in the new maple tree can result in
better performance.  __mt_dup() uses DFS pre-order to duplicate the maple
tree, so it is efficient.

The average time complexity of __mt_dup() is O(n), where n is the number
of VMAs.  The proof of the time complexity is provided in the commit log
that introduces __mt_dup().  After duplicating the maple tree, each
element is traversed and replaced (ignoring the cases of deletion, which
are rare).  Since it is only a replacement operation for each element,
this process is also O(n).

Analyzing the exact time complexity of the previous algorithm is
challenging because each insertion can involve appending to a node,
pushing data to adjacent nodes, or even splitting nodes.  The frequency of
each action is difficult to calculate.  The worst-case scenario for a
single insertion is when the tree undergoes splitting at every level.  If
we consider each insertion as the worst-case scenario, we can determine
that the upper bound of the time complexity is O(n*log(n)), although this
is a loose upper bound.  However, based on the test data, it appears that
the actual time complexity is likely to be O(n).

As the entire maple tree is duplicated using __mt_dup(), if dup_mmap()
fails, there will be a portion of VMAs that have not been duplicated in
the maple tree.  To handle this, we mark the failure point with
XA_ZERO_ENTRY.  In exit_mmap(), if this marker is encountered, stop
releasing VMAs that have not been duplicated after this point.

There is a "spawn" in byte-unixbench[1], which can be used to test the
performance of fork().  I modified it slightly to make it work with
different number of VMAs.

Below are the test results.  The first row shows the number of VMAs.  The
second and third rows show the number of fork() calls per ten seconds,
corresponding to next-20231006 and the this patchset, respectively.  The
test results were obtained with CPU binding to avoid scheduler load
balancing that could cause unstable results.  There are still some
fluctuations in the test results, but at least they are better than the
original performance.

How do I submit patches to Android Common Kernels

  1. BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

    • Do not send patches upstream that contain only symbol exports. To be considered for upstream Linux, additions of EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.
    • When sending patches upstream, the commit message must contain a clear case for why the patch is needed and beneficial to the community. Enabling out-of-tree drivers or functionality is not not a persuasive case.
  2. LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.

Common Kernel patch requirements

  • All patches must conform to the Linux kernel coding standards and pass scripts/checkpatch.pl
  • Patches shall not break gki_defconfig or allmodconfig builds for arm, arm64, x86, x86_64 architectures (see https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels)
  • If the patch is not merged from an upstream branch, the subject must be tagged with the type of patch: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:, FROMGIT:, FROMLIST:, or ANDROID:.
  • All patches must have a Change-Id: tag (see https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-changeid.html)
  • If an Android bug has been assigned, there must be a Bug: tag.
  • All patches must have a Signed-off-by: tag by the author and the submitter

Additional requirements are listed below based on patch type

Requirements for backports from mainline Linux: UPSTREAM:, BACKPORT:

  • If the patch is a cherry-pick from Linux mainline with no changes at all
