mm/vmalloc: combine all TLB flush operations of KASAN shadow virtual address into one operation

When compiling kernel source 'make -j $(nproc)' with the up-and-running
KASAN-enabled kernel on a 256-core machine, the following soft lockup is
shown:

Debugging Analysis:

  1. The following ftrace log shows that the lockup CPU spends too much
     time iterating vmap_nodes and flushing TLB when purging vm_area
     structures. (Some info is trimmed).

     kworker: funcgraph_entry:              |  drain_vmap_area_work() {
     kworker: funcgraph_entry:              |   mutex_lock() {
     kworker: funcgraph_entry:  1.092 us    |     __cond_resched();
     kworker: funcgraph_exit:   3.306 us    |   }
     ...                                        ...
     kworker: funcgraph_entry:              |    flush_tlb_kernel_range() {
     ...                                          ...
     kworker: funcgraph_exit: # 7533.649 us |    }
     ...                                         ...
     kworker: funcgraph_entry:  2.344 us    |   mutex_unlock();
     kworker: funcgraph_exit: $ 23871554 us | }

     The drain_vmap_area_work() spends over 23 seconds.

     There are 2805 flush_tlb_kernel_range() calls in the ftrace log.
       * One is called in __purge_vmap_area_lazy().
       * Others are called by purge_vmap_node->kasan_release_vmalloc.
         purge_vmap_node() iteratively releases kasan vmalloc
         allocations and flushes TLB for each vmap_area.
           - [Rough calculation] Each flush_tlb_kernel_range() runs
             about 7.5ms.
               -- 2804 * 7.5ms = 21.03 seconds.
               -- That's why a soft lock is triggered.

  2. Extending the soft lockup time can work around the issue (For example,
     # echo 60 > /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_thresh). This confirms the
     above-mentioned speculation: drain_vmap_area_work() spends too much
     time.

If we combine all TLB flush operations of the KASAN shadow virtual
address into one operation in the call path
'purge_vmap_node()->kasan_release_vmalloc()', the running time of
drain_vmap_area_work() can be saved greatly. The idea is from the
flush_tlb_kernel_range() call in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(). And, the
soft lockup won't be triggered.

Here is the test result based on 6.10:

[6.10 wo/ the patch]
  1. ftrace latency profiling (record a trace if the latency > 20s).
     echo 20000000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh
     echo drain_vmap_area_work > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_graph_function
     echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
     echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on

  2. Run `make -j $(nproc)` to compile the kernel source

  3. Once the soft lockup is reproduced, check the ftrace log:
     cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
        # tracer: function_graph
        #
        # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
        # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
          76) $ 50412985 us |    } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */
          76) $ 50412997 us |  } /* drain_vmap_area_work */
          76) $ 29165911 us |    } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */
          76) $ 29165926 us |  } /* drain_vmap_area_work */
          91) $ 53629423 us |    } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */
          91) $ 53629434 us |  } /* drain_vmap_area_work */
          91) $ 28121014 us |    } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */
          91) $ 28121026 us |  } /* drain_vmap_area_work */

[6.10 w/ the patch]
  1. Repeat step 1-2 in "[6.10 wo/ the patch]"

  2. The soft lockup is not triggered and ftrace log is empty.
     cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
     # tracer: function_graph
     #
     # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
     # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

  3. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 10/5 seconds does not get any ftrace
     log.

  4. Setting 'tracing_thresh' to 1 second gets ftrace log.
     cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
     # tracer: function_graph
     #
     # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
     # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
       23) $ 1074942 us  |    } /* __purge_vmap_area_lazy */
       23) $ 1074950 us  |  } /* drain_vmap_area_work */

  The worst execution time of drain_vmap_area_work() is about 1 second.
