Subject: [PATCH] locking/osq_lock: Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_release() in osq_unlock()
Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2024 13:45:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241001114606.820277-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
Replace this pattern in osq_unlock():
atomic_cmpxchg(*ptr, old, new) == old
... with the simpler and faster:
atomic_try_cmpxchg(*ptr, &old, new)
The x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in the ZF flag,
so this change saves a compare after the CMPXCHG. The code
in the fast path of osq_unlock() improves from:
11b: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx
11d: 8d 50 01 lea 0x1(%rax),%edx
120: 89 d0 mov %edx,%eax
122: f0 0f b1 0f lock cmpxchg %ecx,(%rdi)
126: 39 c2 cmp %eax,%edx
128: 75 05 jne 12f <...>
to:
12b: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx
12d: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax
130: f0 0f b1 17 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)
134: 75 05 jne 13b <...>
