Subject: [PATCH v2] irqchip/gicv3-its: Enable cacheable attribute Read-allocate hints
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 01:18:18 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478589498-17696-1-git-send-email-shankerd@codeaurora.org> (raw)
Read-allocation hints are not enabled for both the GIC-ITS and GICR
tables. This forces the hardware to always read the table contents
from an external memory (DDR) which is slow compared to cache memory.
Most of the tables are often read by hardware. So, it's better to
enable Read-allocate hints in addition to Write-allocate hints in
order to improve the GICR_PEND, GICR_PROP, Collection, Device, and
vCPU tables lookup time.

Implemented a test case to prove that enabling Read Allocation hints
improves ITS lookup time ~15% while delivering a LPI event. Used the
ITS command INV to analyze time spent in device, collection, prop and
pending table lookups.
Pseudo code:
Create a fake ITS device.
Record PMU cycle counter before sending INV command.
Build and send ITS INT command.
ITS hardware triggers device table lookup.
ITTE table & collection table lookup.
ITS property table lookup.
ITS pending table lookup.
Deliver interrupt to CPU interface.
do_IRQ() called.
Measure the total CPU cycle spent to reach this point.
Without ReadAllocation hints:
/sys/kernel/debug # echo 100 > lpitest
[ 94.693968] CPU[1] niter=100 cycles=0x8dfc0 avg=0x16b7 min=0x1652
With ReadAllocation hints:
/sys/kernel/debug # echo 100 > lpitest
[ 98.617873] CPU[1] niter=100 cycles=0x7df49 avg=0x1427 min=0x1388
