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
finish_task_switch 884 852 -32
