Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/paravirt: useless assignment instructions cause Unixbench full core performance degradation
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 15:07:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220627070703.19922-1-guohui@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <182260a1-0673-b65c-fc33-54548723e0c1@suse.com>
The instructions assigned to the vcpu_is_preempted function parameter
in the X86 architecture physical machine are redundant instructions,
causing the multi-core performance of Unixbench to drop by about 4% to 5%.
The C function is as follows:
static bool vcpu_is_preempted(long vcpu);
The parameter 'vcpu' in the function osq_lock
that calls the function vcpu_is_preempted is assigned as follows:
The C code is in the function node_cpu:
cpu = node->cpu - 1;
The instructions corresponding to the C code are:
mov 0x14(%rax),%edi
sub $0x1,%edi
The above instructions are unnecessary
in the X86 Native operating environment,
causing high cache-misses and degrading performance.
This patch uses static_key to not execute this instruction
in the Native runtime environment.
The code is as follows:
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(preempted_key);
static inline int node_cpu(struct optimistic_spin_node *node)
{
int cpu = 0;
if (!static_branch_unlikely(&preempted_key))
cpu = node->cpu - 1;
return cpu;
}
The patch effect is as follows two machines,
Unixbench runs with full core score:
