Vlastimil Babka dab4ead1a9 mm, page_owner: make init_pages_in_zone() faster
In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner()
function to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages.  This
means we needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more
importantly save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the
corresponding stack depot handle.  Because the stack is always the same
for the initialization, unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse
the handle.  Also avoid the repeated lookup_page_ext().

This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large
machines, especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the
stack unwinding is noticeably slower.

[vbabka@suse.cz: don't duplicate code of __set_page_owner(), per Michal Hocko]

[vbabka@suse.cz: create statically allocated fake stack trace for early allocated pages, per Michal]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
