Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 27/37] target-i386: remove helper_lock()
Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2016 10:39:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1477330788-14996-28-git-send-email-rth@twiddle.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1477330788-14996-1-git-send-email-rth@twiddle.net>
From: "Emilio G. Cota" <cota@braap.org>
It's been superseded by the atomic helpers.
The use of the atomic helpers provides a significant performance and scalability
improvement. Below is the result of running the atomic_add-test microbenchmark with:
$ x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 tests/atomic_add-bench -o 5000000 -r $r -n $n
, where $n is the number of threads and $r is the allowed range for the additions.
The scenarios measured are:
- atomic: implements x86' ADDL with the atomic_add helper (i.e. this patchset)
- cmpxchg: implement x86' ADDL with a TCG loop using the cmpxchg helper
- master: before this patchset
Results sorted in ascending range, i.e. descending degree of contention.
Y axis is Throughput in Mops/s. Tests are run on an AMD machine with 64
Opteron 6376 cores.

For master I stopped measuring master after 8 threads, because there is little
point in measuring the well-known performance collapse of a contended lock.
