Subject: [Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit 2/2] Linux/ARM64: Make mremap() non-moving due to VA space woes.
Date: Tue,  6 Jul 2021 20:40:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c04ec11ad17902359194966315cd6cfa81f8bd45.1625587322.git.skaplun@tarantool.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1625587322.git.skaplun@tarantool.org>

From: Mike Pall <mike>

This reduces overall performance on ARM64, but we have no choice.
Linux kernel default userspace VA is 48 bit, but we'd need 47 bit.
mremap() ignores address hints due to a kernel API issue. The mapping
may move to an undesired address which will cause an assert or crash.

Reported by Raymond W. Ko.

(cherry picked from commit 67dbec82f4f05a416a78a560a726553beaa7a223)

47-bit VA space is required by LuaJIT for keeping a GC object pointer in
TValue. When need to reallocate to huge sized block `mrepmap()` on arm64
may move out VA space from the 47-bit range. `mremap()` accepts the
fifth argument (new address hint) only with MREMAP_FIXED flag. In that
case it unmaps any other mapping to specified address.

To avoid this behaviour this patch restricts `mremap()` to relocate
the mapping to a new virtual address by reset MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag
for arm64 architecture.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem

Needed for tarantool/tarantool#6154
