Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 04/12] lib: vdso: inline do_hres() and do_coarse()
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2020 17:08:42 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <25d3e027aeef5cdbe1b205ecfbf8d80270fc2bd9.1578934751.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1578934751.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr>
do_hres() is called from several places, so GCC doesn't inline
it at first.
do_hres() takes a struct __kernel_timespec * parameter for
passing the result. In the 32 bits case, this parameter corresponds
to a local var in the caller. In order to provide a pointer
to this structure, the caller has to put it in its stack and
do_hres() has to write the result in the stack. This is suboptimal,
especially on RISC processor like powerpc.
By making GCC inline the function, the struct __kernel_timespec
remains a local var using registers, avoiding the need to write and
read stack.
The improvement is significant on powerpc:
Before:
gettimeofday: vdso: 1379 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 868 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 1511 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1576 nsec/call
After:
gettimeofday: vdso: 1078 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 807 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 1256 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1316 nsec/call
At the same time, change the return type of do_coarse() to int, this
increase readability of the if/elseif/elseif/else section
in __cvdso_clock_gettime_common()
