Ravikiran G Thirumalai e073ae1b34 [PATCH] x86-64: Set HASHDIST_DEFAULT to 1 for x86_64 NUMA
Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA

Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for
the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory
imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box:

Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box:

Node 0 MemTotal:      3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree:       3206296 kB
Node 0 MemUsed:        201192 kB
Node 0 Active:           7012 kB
Node 0 Inactive:          512 kB
Node 0 Dirty:               0 kB
Node 0 Writeback:           0 kB
Node 0 FilePages:        1912 kB
Node 0 Mapped:            420 kB
Node 0 AnonPages:        5612 kB
Node 0 PageTables:        468 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable:        0 kB
Node 0 Bounce:              0 kB
Node 0 Slab:             5408 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable:      644 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim:       4764 kB

After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line):

Node 0 MemTotal:      3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree:       3247608 kB
Node 0 MemUsed:        159880 kB
Node 0 Active:           3012 kB
Node 0 Inactive:          616 kB
Node 0 Dirty:               0 kB
Node 0 Writeback:           0 kB
Node 0 FilePages:        2424 kB
Node 0 Mapped:            380 kB
Node 0 AnonPages:        1200 kB
Node 0 PageTables:        396 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable:        0 kB
Node 0 Bounce:              0 kB
Node 0 Slab:             6304 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable:     1596 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim:       4708 kB

I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA
since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space?  Or maybe enable hash
distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches?  The following patch does it only
for x86_64.

I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of
memory and uses up tlb entries.  This was on a 4 way, 2 socket
Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode).

The results with and without hash distribution are:

1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s
2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s

Oprofile output for the duration of run is:
