The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

This was a weird problem to think about: Time itself had now become a resource and target of performance analysis. I'm including this step as a reminder for anyone following this kind of analysis. As (C) looked like a kernel rebuild, I started with (D) and (E). ## 5. That changed by the end of the year.) ## 5.

KPTI/KAISER Meltdown Initial Performance Regressions

Brendan Gregg

In this post I'll look at the Linux kernel page table isolation (KPTI) patches that workaround Meltdown: what overheads to expect, and ways to tune them. I then analyzed performance during the benchmark ([active benchmarking]), and used other benchmarks to confirm findings. Much of my testing was on Linux 4.14.11
