Subject: [PATCH] locking/qspinlock/x86: Micro-optimize virt_spin_lock()
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 14:00:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240422120054.199092-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
Optimize virt_spin_lock() to use simpler and faster:
atomic_try_cmpxchg(*ptr, &val, new)
instead of:
atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, val, new) == val.
The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag, so
this change saves a compare after the CMPXCHG.
Also optimize retry loop a bit. atomic_try_cmpxchg() fails iff
&lock->val != 0, so there is no need to load and compare the
lock value again - cpu_relax() can be unconditinally called in
this case. This allows us to generate optimized:
1f: ba 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%edx
24: 8b 03 mov (%rbx),%eax
26: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
28: 75 63 jne 8d <...>
2a: f0 0f b1 13 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rbx)
2e: 75 5d jne 8d <...>
...
8d: f3 90 pause
8f: eb 93 jmp 24 <...>
instead of:
1f: ba 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%edx
24: 8b 03 mov (%rbx),%eax
26: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
28: 75 13 jne 3d <...>
2a: f0 0f b1 13 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rbx)
2e: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
30: 75 f2 jne 24 <...>
...
3d: f3 90 pause
3f: eb e3 jmp 24 <...>
