Subject: [PATCH v4 next 8/9] lib: mul_u64_u64_div_u64() Optimise the divide code
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:38:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251029173828.3682-9-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251029173828.3682-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Replace the bit by bit algorithm with one that generates 16 bits
per iteration on 32bit architectures and 32 bits on 64bit ones.

On my zen 5 this reduces the time for the tests (using the generic
code) from ~3350ns to ~1000ns.

Running the 32bit algorithm on 64bit x86 takes ~1500ns.
It'll be slightly slower on a real 32bit system, mostly due
to register pressure.

The savings for 32bit x86 are much higher (tested in userspace).
The worst case (lots of bits in the quotient) drops from ~900 clocks
to ~130 (pretty much independant of the arguments).
Other 32bit architectures may see better savings.

It is possibly to optimise for divisors that span less than
__LONG_WIDTH__/2 bits. However I suspect they don't happen that often
and it doesn't remove any slow cpu divide instructions which dominate
the result.

Typical improvements for 64bit random divides:
               old     new
sandy bridge:  470     150
haswell:       400     144
piledriver:    960     467   I think rdpmc is very slow.
zen5:          244      80
(Timing is 'rdpmc; mul_div(); rdpmc' with the multiply depending on the
first rdpmc and the second rdpmc depending on the quotient.)

Algorithm unchanged from v3.
