powerpc/mm/slice: implement a slice mask cache
Calculating the slice mask can become a signifcant overhead for get_unmapped_area. This patch adds a struct slice_mask for each page size in the mm_context, and keeps these in synch with the slices psize arrays and slb_addr_limit. On Book3S/64 this adds 288 bytes to the mm_context_t for the slice mask caches. On POWER8, this increases vfork+exec+exit performance by 9.9% and reduces time to mmap+munmap a 64kB page by 28%. Reduces time to mmap+munmap by about 10% on 8xx. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
