Subject: [PATCH] sched/membarrier: Fix redundant load of membarrier_state
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2024 11:09:32 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241007053936.833392-1-nysal@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

From: "Nysal Jan K.A" <nysal@linux.ibm.com>

On architectures where ARCH_HAS_SYNC_CORE_BEFORE_USERMODE
is not selected, sync_core_before_usermode() is a no-op.
In membarrier_mm_sync_core_before_usermode() the compiler does not
eliminate redundant branches and the load of mm->membarrier_state
for this case as the atomic_read() cannot be optimized away.

Here's a snippet of the code generated for finish_task_switch() on powerpc:

1b786c:   ld      r26,2624(r30)   # mm = rq->prev_mm;
.......
1b78c8:   cmpdi   cr7,r26,0
1b78cc:   beq     cr7,1b78e4 <finish_task_switch+0xd0>
1b78d0:   ld      r9,2312(r13)    # current
1b78d4:   ld      r9,1888(r9)     # current->mm
1b78d8:   cmpd    cr7,r26,r9
1b78dc:   beq     cr7,1b7a70 <finish_task_switch+0x25c>
1b78e0:   hwsync
1b78e4:   cmplwi  cr7,r27,128
.......
1b7a70:   lwz     r9,176(r26)     # atomic_read(&mm->membarrier_state)
1b7a74:   b       1b78e0 <finish_task_switch+0xcc>

This was found while analyzing "perf c2c" reports on kernels prior
to commit c1753fd02a00 ("mm: move mm_count into its own cache line")
where mm_count was false sharing with membarrier_state.

There is a minor improvement in the size of finish_task_switch().
The following are results from bloat-o-meter:

GCC 7.5.0:
----------
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-32 (-32)
Function                                     old     new   delta
