(I was offline last week).

The _preferred_ way probably is not to do it :), but otherwise you can
set CFLAGS_hweight.o depending on CONFIG_X86(_32|_64), just like you do
in arch/x86/lib/Makefile already.

Wouldn't it be better if we had something like ARCH_CFLAGS_hweight.o
which gets set in the arch Makefile instead?

We could, but is it worth it if there is only one potential user so far?
IMO just put the condition to lib/Makefile now and if there turn out to
be more cases like this, we can add support for ARCH_CFLAGS_foo.o then.

It wouldn't work actually, because such variable would then apply to all
hweight.o targets in the tree. But another way would be:

arch/x86/Kconfig
config ARCH_HWEIGHT_CFLAGS
        string
        default "..." if X86_32
        default "..." if X86_64

lib/Makefile
CFLAGS_hweight.o = $(CONFIG_ARCH_HWEIGHT_CFLAGS)

Yep, this works, albeit with a small adjustment since
CONFIG_ARCH_HWEIGHT_CFLAGS is quoted in the Kconfig and the quotes
appear in the $(CC) call like this:

gcc -Wp,-MD,lib/.hweight.o.d  ... "-fcall-saved-ecx..."

which I fixed like this (idea reused from the make manual):

I guess one way to achieve that is to create a arch/x86/lib/hweight.c
that includes lib/hweight.c and give the x86 one special compile flags
and not build the lib on.

That's what I thought initially too but that won't fly because the
lib/hweight.c helpers have to be inlined into arch/x86/lib/hweight.c so
that gcc can take care of the clobbered registers. Otherwise, it just a
"call __sw_hweightXX" that gets issued into asm.

[PATCH] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

You're still not inlining these.  They should be: there is absolutely no
reason for code size to not inline them anymore.

Isn't better to have only those 4 locations for apply_alternatives to
patch wrt to popcnt instead of sprinkling alternatives sections around
the kernel in every callsite of hweight and its users? Or is the aim to
optimize even that "call __arch_hweightXX" away?

That's the idea, yes.  We use inline alternatives in quite a few other
places.

Ok, inlining results in circa 100+ replacements here both on 32- and
64-bit. Here we go:

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

Just a note: this still means rdi is clobbered on x86-64, which is
probably fine, but needs to be recorded as such.  Since gcc doesn't
support clobbers for registers used as operands (sigh), you have to
create a dummy output and assign it a "=D" constraint.

I don't know if gcc would handle -fcall-saved-rdi here... and if so, how
reliably.

Ok, from looking at kernel/sched.s output it looks like it saves rdi
content over the alternative where needed. I'll do some more testing
just to make sure.

No, you can't rely on behavioral observation.  A different version of
gcc could behave differently.  We need to make sure we tell gcc what the
requirements actually are, as opposed to thinking we can just fix them.

+#define POPCNT ".byte 0xf3\n\t.byte 0x48\n\t.byte 0x0f\n\t.byte
0xb8\n\t.byte 0xc7"

BTW, this can be written:

#define POPCNT ".byte 0xf3,0x48,0x0f,0xb8,0xc7"

Ok, I've added the dummy "=D" constraint since it sounded like the more
stable thing to do WRT gcc versions. BTW, I left the machine overnight
and it is still alive cheerfully building randconfigs.

I'll try the -fcall-saved-rdi thing also later today.

Hmm, we cannot do that with the current design since __arch_hweight64
is being inlined into every callsite and AFAICT we would have to build
every callsite with "-fcall-saved-rdi" which is clearly too much. The
explicit "=D" dummy constraint is straightforward, instead.

Just to make clear: those observations were referring to the version
_with_ the dummy "=D" constraint - I was simply verifying the asm
output and wasn't relying on behavioral observation.

Done, here's the latest version, it boots fine and testing is ongoing:

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

Uh... the -fcall-saved-rdi would go with all the other ones.  Assuming 
it can actually work and that gcc doesn't choke on an inbound argument 
being saved.

Right, doh. Ok, just added it and it builds fine with a gcc (Gentoo
4.4.1 p1.0) 4.4.1. If you have suspicion that some older gcc versions
might choke on it, I could leave the "=D" dummy constraint in?

BTW, the current version screams

/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h: In function ‘__arch_hweight64’:
/usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h:47: warning: unused variable ‘dummy’

on x86-32. I'll send a fixed version in a second.

I can try it with gcc 3.4 here.  -fcall-saved-rdi is cleaner, if it works.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

Looks like -mm, which really means that either Andrew has to take your
patch, too, or we have to wait until that is upstream until we can merge
your patch.

I'm a little nervous about just acking the patch and telling Andrew to
test it, because I don't know what the fallout would look like.  I'm
particularly concerned about gcc version dependencies.

I guess, on the other hand, if it ends up not getting merged until .35
it's not a huge deal either.

I have the same concern. Actually, I'll be much more at ease if it saw a
bit of wider testing without hitting mainline just yet. I'll try to give
it some more testing with the machines and toolchains I can get my hands
on next week.

Yeah, let's give it another round of testing and queue it for .35 -
AFAIR Ingo runs also a wide testing effort so it spending another cycle
in -tip and being hammered on by us could give us a bit more certainty.

Yes, if we can get into -tip then we'll get more test coverage, so I'll
queue it up for .35 as soon as the merge window closes.  Please remind
me if I forget.

Hi Peter,

I see that you've added the HWEIGHT-capitalized interfaces for
compile-time constants with fce877e3. Which means, the bits in
<include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h> from your original patch at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/4/119 need changing (or have changed already
but I've missed them).

IOW, where can I get the current version of that last patch so that I can
base my __arch_hweightXX stuff ontop of it for testing?

Thanks.

Should all be fine as it is, that patch
( http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/4/119 ) is against a kernel with fce877e3
in, I've just checked and it still applies to tip/master as of this
writing (although it grew a single 2 line offset for 1 hunk).

Well, this way, I'm getting

...
In file included from include/linux/kernel.h:15,
                 from /home/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h:45,

                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:4:
include/linux/bitops.h:52:1: warning: "HWEIGHT8" redefined
...

due to the fact that we have multiple definitions of HWEIGHT*:

The one batch is in <include/linux/bitops.h> introduced by fce877e3.

The other is in <include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h> which
is pulled in into <include/linux/bitops.h> through "#include
<asm/bitops.h>", which, in turn, <includes asm/arch_hweight.h> and
<include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h>.

The obvious resolution is to remove the HWEIGHT* batch from
<include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h> since they're functionally
identical with the ones in <include/linux/bitops.h>, no?

I thought the patch did that, see this hunk (straight from
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/4/119 ):

Bollocks, I seem to have lost that hunk while applying the patch by
foot, sorry for the noise.

By the way, I can't seem to find your patch in Andrew's tree, is it
still going through his tree?

I hope so, Andrew, need me to resend or do you still have a copy?

Ok, I've been pretty busy lately and this got pushed back on the todo
list. I finally got around to do some build-testing with a bunch of
compilers and -fcall-saved* seem to get accepted. I haven't stared at
their asm output though, yet:


command:
make CC=gcc-<version> HOSTCC=gcc-<version> -j4

compile stats (64bit only):

not ok:
- gcc-3.3 (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13):	OOM KILLER goes off, gcc-3.3 leak maybe

ok:
- gcc-3.4 (GCC) 3.4.4 20050314 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.3-13sarge1)
- gcc-4.1 (GCC) 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-27)
- gcc-4.3 (Debian 4.3.4-6) 4.3.4
- gcc (Debian 4.4.2-6) 4.4.2
- gcc (Debian 4.4.3-3) 4.4.3

- gcc-3.4.6 (GCC) 3.4.6 (Gentoo 3.4.6-r2 p1.6, ssp-3.4.6-1.0, pie-8.7.10)
- gcc-4.1.2 (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.3)

I'm attaching the versions of the patches I'm using. The first one by
PeterZ touches a bunch of arches and Andrew hasn't picked it up yet so
the question of getting the second (popcnt) patch to see wider testing
in some tree is still unresolved. Suggestions, ideas?

Thanks.

[PATCH 1/2] bitops: Optimize hweight() by making use of compile-time evaluation

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 15:03:07 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bitops: Optimize hweight() by making use of compile-time evaluation

Rename the extisting runtime hweight() implementations to
__arch_hweight(), rename the compile-time versions to __const_hweight()
and then have hweight() pick between them.

[PATCH 2/2] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 17:34:46 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: Add optimized popcnt variants

Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.
