[PATCH 00/10] jump label: introduce very_[un]likely + cleanups + docs

[Jason Baron]

Hi,

Renames 'static_branch()' -> very_unlikely(), hopefully, to be more intuitive
as to what jump labels is about. I'm also introducing 'very_likely()', as
the analogue to very_unlikely(). Patch is against the -tip perf branch.

Thanks,

-Jason

[PATCH 01/10] jump label: Add a WARN() if jump label key count goes negative

[Jason Baron]

The count on a jump label key should never go negative. Add a WARN() to
check for this condition.

[PATCH 03/10] jump label: introduce very_unlikely()

[Jason Baron]

The 'static_branch()' construct can be thought of as stronger
form of 'unlikely()'. Thus, let's rename 'static_branch()' ->
'very_unlikely()'. Leave around 'static_branch()' for a while
until all users are converted, but mark it as deprecated.

It would be nice to locate 'very_unlikely()' in include/linux/compiler.h,
where 'unlikely()' is defined, but I'm afraid there are too
many additional headers that I'd have to pull into compiler.h.

[PATCH 04/10] jump label: introduce very_likely()

[Jason Baron]

The current very_unlikely() construct, assumes that the branch will be
disabled by default. This means we have a single no-op in the straight line
path, and when the branch is made true we patch the no-op with a jump.

There are cases (sched feat code), where we want the branch to default to
true, so that the straight line code is the true branch, and the false
branch is enabled via a jump.

In order to implement this while having, jump_label_inc(), and
jump_label_dec() retain their current meaning, we have to store the
initial branch state. I'm using the lowest bit of the 'entries'
pointer in the jump_label_key struct, since this points to memory
that has to be aligned to the arch pointer size. We could have stored this
in the 'struct jump_entry' data structure, but I wanted to avoid
adding additional space overhead.

Thus, the new API is initialized as:

	struct jump_label_key true_key = JUMP_LABEL_INIT_TRUE;

			or

	struct jump_label_key false_key = JUMP_LABEL_INIT_FALSE;

Leaving out an initialization, defaults to false, as in:

	struct jump_label_key uninitialized_key;


Then, for the branches we have:

	very_unlikely(&false_key);

		or

	very_likely(&true_key);

And finally, jump_label_inc(&key), jump_label_dec(&key) are unchanged -
'jump_label_inc()' means 'make true', and jump_label_dec()' means make false,
with the expected increment/decrement counting.

Thus, you must use 'true_key' with a 'very_likely()' branch, and a
'false_key' or an 'uninitialized_key' with a 'very_unlikely()' branch.
Mixing different branches with the same jump_label_key is not allowed.

I've left the old static_branch(), (which is the same as the new
very_unlikely()), at least until we've converted over all in-tree and
pending users.

+			Jump Label
+			----------
+
+By: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>
+
+
+1) Motivation
+
+
+Currently, tracepoints are implemented using a conditional. The conditional
+check requires checking a global variable for each tracepoint. Although
+the overhead of this check is small, it increases when the memory cache comes
+under pressure (memory cache lines for these global variables may be shared
+with other memory accesses). As we increase the number of tracepoints in the
+kernel this overhead may become more of an issue. In addition, tracepoints are
+often dormant (disabled) and provide no direct kernel functionality. Thus, it
+is highly desirable to reduce their impact as much as possible. Although
+tracepoints are the original motivation for this work, other kernel code paths
+should be able to make use of the jump label optimization.
+
+
+2) Solution
+
+
+gcc (v4.5) adds a new 'asm goto' statement that allows branching to a label:
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg01556.html
+
+Using the 'asm goto', we can create branches that are either taken or not taken
+by default, without the need to check memory. Then, at run-time, we can patch
+the branch site to change the branch direction.
+
+For example, if we have a simple branch that is disabled by default:
+
+	if (very_unlikely(&jump_key))
+		printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+Thus, by default the 'printk' will not be emitted. And the code generated will
+consist of a single atomic 'no-op' instruction (5 bytes on x86), in the
+straight-line code path. When the branch is 'flipped', we will patch the 'no-op'
+in the straight-line codepath with a 'jump' instruction to the out-of-line true
+branch. Thus, changing branch direction is expensive but branch selection is
+basically 'free'. That is the basic tradeoff of this optimization.
+
+
+3) Jump label API, usage and examples:
+
+
+In order to use a jump label you much first define a key:
+
+	struct jump_label_key jump_key;
+
+Which is initialized as:
+
+	struct jump_label_key jump_key = JUMP_LABEL_INIT_TRUE;
+
+or:
+
+	struct jump_label_Key jump_key = JUMP_LABEL_INIT_FALSE;
+
+If the key is not initialized, it is default false. The
+'struct jump_label_key', must be a 'global'. That is, it can't be allocated on
+the stack or dynamically allocated at run-time.
+
+The key is then used in code as:
+
+        if (very_unlikely(&jump_key))
+                do unlikely code
+        else
+                do likely code
+
+Or:
+
+        if (very_likely(&jump_key))
+                do likely code
+        else
+                do unlikely code
+
+A key that is initialized via 'JUMP_LABEL_INIT_FALSE', must be used in a
+'very_unlikely()' construct. Likewise, a key initialized via
+'JUMP_LABEL_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'very_likely()' construct.
+A single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match
+the way that the key has been initialized.
+
+The branch(es) can then be switched via:
+
+            jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
+            jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
+
+Thus, 'jump_label_inc()' means 'make the branch true', and
+'jump_label_dec()' means 'make the the branch false' with appropriate reference
+counting. For example, if the key is initialized true, a jump_label_dec(), will
+switch the branch to false. And a subsequent jump_label_inc(), will change
+the branch back to true. Likewise, if the key is initialized false, a
+'jump_label_inc()', will change the branch to true. And then a
+'jump_label_dec()', will again make the branch false.
+
+An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints:
+
+        static inline void trace_##name(proto)                          \
+        {                                                               \
+                if (very_unlikely(&__tracepoint_##name.key))  		\
+                        __DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name,                \
+                                TP_PROTO(data_proto),                   \
+                                TP_ARGS(data_args),                     \
+                                TP_CONDITION(cond));                    \
+        }
+
+Tracepoints are disabled by default, and can be placed in performance critical
+pieces of the kernel. Thus, by using a jump labels, the tracepoints can have
+absolutely minimal impact when not in use.
+
+
+4) Architecture interface
+
+
+There are a few functions and macros that architectures must implement in order
+to take advantage of this optimization. If there is no architecture support, we
+simply fall back to a traditional, load, test, and jump sequence.
+
+* select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL, see: arch/x86/Kconfig
+
+* #define JUMP_LABEL_NOP_SIZE, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key), see:
+					arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* void arch_jump_label_transform(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+* __init_or_module void arch_jump_label_transform_static(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+
+* struct jump_entry, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+
+5) Jump label analysis, results (x86_64):
+
+
+As an example, let's add the following branch to 'getppid()', such that the
+system call now looks like:
+
+SYSCALL_DEFINE0(getppid)
+{
+        int pid;
+
++        if (very_unlikely(&key))
++                printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+        rcu_read_lock();
+        pid = task_tgid_vnr(rcu_dereference(current->real_parent));
+        rcu_read_unlock();
+
+        return pid;
+}
+
+The resulting instructions with jump labels is:
+
+ffffffff81044290 <sys_getppid>:
+ffffffff81044290:       55                      push   %rbp
+ffffffff81044291:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
+ffffffff81044294:       e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   ffffffff81044299 <sys_getppid+0x9>
+ffffffff81044299:       65 48 8b 04 25 c0 b6    mov    %gs:0xb6c0,%rax

+
+Thus, the disable jump label case adds a 'mov', 'test' and 'jne' instruction
+vs. the jump label case just has a 'no-op' or 'jmp 0'. (The jmp 0, is patched
+to a 5 byte atomic no-op instruction at boot-time.) Thus, the disabled jump
+label case adds:
+
+6 (mov) + 2 (test) + 2 (jne) = 10 - 5 (5 byte jump 0) = 5 addition bytes.
+
+If we then include the padding bytes, the jump label code saves, 16 total
+bytes of instruction memory for this small fucntion. In this case the
+non-jump label function is 80 bytes long. Thus, we have have saved 20% of the
+instruction footprint. We can in fact improve this even further, since the
+5-byte no-op really can be a 2-byte no-op since we can reach the branch with
+a 2-byte jmp. However, we have not yet implemented optimal no-op sizes (they
+are currently hard-coded).
+
+Since there are a number of jump labels in the scheduler paths, 'pipe-test',
+found here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1129232/focus=1129389,
+can be used to show the performance improvement. Testing done on 3.3.0-rc2:

+			Static Keys
+			-----------
+
+By: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>
+
+0) Abstract
+
+Static keys allows the inclusion of seldom used features in
+performance-sensitive fast-path kernel code, via a GCC feature and a code
+patching technique. A quick example:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
+
+	...
+
+        if (static_key_false(&key))
+                do unlikely code
+        else
+                do likely code
+
+	...
+	static_key_slow_inc();
+	...
+	static_key_slow_inc();
+	...
+
+The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little
+impact to the likely code path as possible.
+
+
+1) Motivation
+
+
+Currently, tracepoints are implemented using a conditional branch. The
+conditional check requires checking a global variable for each tracepoint.
+Although the overhead of this check is small, it increases when the memory
+cache comes under pressure (memory cache lines for these global variables may
+be shared with other memory accesses). As we increase the number of tracepoints
+in the kernel this overhead may become more of an issue. In addition,
+tracepoints are often dormant (disabled) and provide no direct kernel
+functionality. Thus, it is highly desirable to reduce their impact as much as
+possible. Although tracepoints are the original motivation for this work, other
+kernel code paths should be able to make use of the static keys facility.
+
+
+2) Solution
+
+
+gcc (v4.5) adds a new 'asm goto' statement that allows branching to a label:
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg01556.html
+
+Using the 'asm goto', we can create branches that are either taken or not taken
+by default, without the need to check memory. Then, at run-time, we can patch
+the branch site to change the branch direction.
+
+For example, if we have a simple branch that is disabled by default:
+
+	if (static_key_false(&key))
+		printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+Thus, by default the 'printk' will not be emitted. And the code generated will
+consist of a single atomic 'no-op' instruction (5 bytes on x86), in the
+straight-line code path. When the branch is 'flipped', we will patch the
+'no-op' in the straight-line codepath with a 'jump' instruction to the
+out-of-line true branch. Thus, changing branch direction is expensive but
+branch selection is basically 'free'. That is the basic tradeoff of this
+optimization.
+
+This lowlevel patching mechanism is called 'jump label patching', and it gives
+the basis for the static keys facility.
+
+3) Static key label API, usage and examples:
+
+
+In order to make use of this optimization you must first define a key:
+
+	struct static_key key;
+
+Which is initialized as:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
+
+or:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
+
+If the key is not initialized, it is default false. The 'struct static_key',
+must be a 'global'. That is, it can't be allocated on the stack or dynamically
+allocated at run-time.
+
+The key is then used in code as:
+
+        if (static_key_false(&key))
+                do unlikely code
+        else
+                do likely code
+
+Or:
+
+        if (static_key_true(&key))
+                do likely code
+        else
+                do unlikely code
+
+A key that is initialized via 'STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE', must be used in a
+'static_key_false()' construct. Likewise, a key initialized via
+'STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'static_key_true()' construct. A
+single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match the
+way that the key has been initialized.
+
+The branch(es) can then be switched via:
+
+	static_key_slow_inc(&key);
+	...
+	static_key_slow_dec(&key);
+
+Thus, 'static_key_slow_inc()' means 'make the branch true', and
+'static_key_slow_dec()' means 'make the the branch false' with appropriate
+reference counting. For example, if the key is initialized true, a
+static_key_slow_dec(), will switch the branch to false. And a subsequent
+static_key_slow_inc(), will change the branch back to true. Likewise, if the
+key is initialized false, a 'static_key_slow_inc()', will change the branch to
+true. And then a 'static_key_slow_dec()', will again make the branch false.
+
+An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints:
+
+        static inline void trace_##name(proto)                          \
+        {                                                               \
+                if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key))		\
+                        __DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name,                \
+                                TP_PROTO(data_proto),                   \
+                                TP_ARGS(data_args),                     \
+                                TP_CONDITION(cond));                    \
+        }
+
+Tracepoints are disabled by default, and can be placed in performance critical
+pieces of the kernel. Thus, by using a static key, the tracepoints can have
+absolutely minimal impact when not in use.
+
+
+4) Architecture level code patching interface, 'jump labels'
+
+
+There are a few functions and macros that architectures must implement in order
+to take advantage of this optimization. If there is no architecture support, we
+simply fall back to a traditional, load, test, and jump sequence.
+
+* select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL, see: arch/x86/Kconfig
+
+* #define JUMP_LABEL_NOP_SIZE, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key), see:
+					arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* void arch_jump_label_transform(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+* __init_or_module void arch_jump_label_transform_static(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+
+* struct jump_entry, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+
+5) Static keys / jump label analysis, results (x86_64):
+
+
+As an example, let's add the following branch to 'getppid()', such that the
+system call now looks like:
+
+SYSCALL_DEFINE0(getppid)
+{
+        int pid;
+
++       if (static_key_false(&key))
++               printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+        rcu_read_lock();
+        pid = task_tgid_vnr(rcu_dereference(current->real_parent));
+        rcu_read_unlock();
+
+        return pid;
+}
+
+The resulting instructions with jump labels generated by GCC is:
+
+ffffffff81044290 <sys_getppid>:
+ffffffff81044290:       55                      push   %rbp
+ffffffff81044291:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
+ffffffff81044294:       e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   ffffffff81044299 <sys_getppid+0x9>
+ffffffff81044299:       65 48 8b 04 25 c0 b6    mov    %gs:0xb6c0,%rax

+ffffffff810442b0:       48 8b b8 e8 02 00 00    mov    0x2e8(%rax),%rdi
+ffffffff810442b7:       e8 f4 d9 00 00          callq  ffffffff81051cb0 <pid_vnr>
+ffffffff810442bc:       5d                      pop    %rbp
+ffffffff810442bd:       48 98                   cltq
+ffffffff810442bf:       c3                      retq
+ffffffff810442c0:       48 c7 c7 e3 54 98 81    mov    $0xffffffff819854e3,%rdi
+ffffffff810442c7:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
+ffffffff810442c9:       e8 71 13 6d 00          callq  ffffffff8171563f <printk>
+ffffffff810442ce:       eb c9                   jmp    ffffffff81044299 <sys_getppid+0x9>
+
+Without the jump label optimization it looks like:
+
+ffffffff810441f0 <sys_getppid>:
+ffffffff810441f0:       8b 05 8a 52 d8 00       mov    0xd8528a(%rip),%eax        # ffffffff81dc9480 <key>

+ffffffff810441fa:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
+ffffffff810441fc:       75 27                   jne    ffffffff81044225 <sys_getppid+0x35>
+ffffffff810441fe:       65 48 8b 04 25 c0 b6    mov    %gs:0xb6c0,%rax

+Thus, the disable jump label case adds a 'mov', 'test' and 'jne' instruction
+vs. the jump label case just has a 'no-op' or 'jmp 0'. (The jmp 0, is patched
+to a 5 byte atomic no-op instruction at boot-time.) Thus, the disabled jump
+label case adds:
+
+6 (mov) + 2 (test) + 2 (jne) = 10 - 5 (5 byte jump 0) = 5 addition bytes.
+
+If we then include the padding bytes, the jump label code saves, 16 total bytes

+function is 80 bytes long. Thus, we have have saved 20% of the instruction

The naming discussion really stems from the addition of a default true
branch.

Originally we had 'static_branch()'. Then, in the first RFC introducing
the default true branch, I proposed: 'static_branch_def_false', and
'static_branch_def_true'. Did you like those better?

I'm not really too hung up on the naming, but I did think that
very_[un]likely were an interesting possibility.

Thanks,

The problem comes from what Peter said. They are too similar to
"likely()" and "unlikely()", and can become confusing.

Maybe "static_likely()" and "static_unlikely()" as the word "static" can
imply something strange about these. Or perhaps a "const_likely()"?

Maybe "dynamic_branch_true()" and "dynamic_branch_false()". This may be
the most descriptive.

I thought about this some more, and the very_[un]likely() naming is even
worse than I originally thought: the jump label stuff isn't about the
bias level, but rather if a static decision (on the order or once per
boot) can be made to go one way or the other.

I agree that this decision is taken typically once at boot time, so
claiming it is only a strong compiler bias hint for block placement
would be a lie. However, I think the fact that the fall-through is for
either true or false branch seems to be an implicit bias. Therefore, I
start to like the static_likely()/static_unlikely(), which conveys both
the static nature of the branch, as well as the bias.

Thanks,

Mathieu

My 2 cents:

static_likely()/static_unlikely() seems to be the less strange
construct names I've seen fly so far. ;-) And they seem to convey the
semantic of static branches and branch "hint" quite well.

too long.

'static branch' or 'static condition' is not a bad concept, if 
people don't find the similarity to 'static' too confusing ;-).

But it is fundamentally mixing execution and *data type* and it 
is not conveying the build time bias properly.

So the best high level naming would be something like:

	struct static_condition static_flag = STATIC_COND_FALSE;


	if (very_unlikely(&static_flag)) {
		...
	}

	...

	static_cond_inc(&static_flag);
	...
	static_cond_dec(&static_flag);


See how *both* the build time bias and the cost of a state 
transition is properly conveyed?

I suggested something like this to Jason in the off-list 
discusion and it's not fully implemented yet. Let me whip up a 
test branch [pun and potential confusion unintended] that shows 
it.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Btw., I think the modification path could also carry the high 
cost of modification (stopping all cpus, modifying code, etc.).

This could be done via:

	static_cond_slow_inc(&static_flag);
	...
	static_cond_slow_dec(&static_flag);

And if a developer does not notice that 'slow' implies a 
performance cost, then he probably would have doubly missed this 
aspect of jump_label_inc()/jump_label_dec().

Stupid thought... do we have cases that matter where the bias and default don't agree?

Yeah, that was one of my worries about the proposed original 
tongue twisters (see Jason's original series: "jump label: 
introduce default true branch").

For example could you tell *at a glance* what this does:

+       if (!static_branch_def_false(&perf_sched_events.key))

?

I certainly couldn't, I'd have to consider the '!', that it's a 
'static branch' and that it's either 'defined to false' or 
'default to false'.

Linguistic and visual barriers all around, and that's for code 
that I am intimately familar with ...

The problem with static_branch_def_false/def_true was that the 
very intuitively visible bias that we see with 
likely()/unlikely() is confused in jump label constructs through 
two layers of modifiers. And the fix is so easy, a simple rename 
in most cases ;-)

So instead of that, in this series we have:

+       if (very_unlikely(&perf_sched_events.key))

which is a heck of an improvement IMO. I'd still up its 
readability a notch, by also signalling the overhead of the 
update path by making it:

+       if (very_unlikely(&perf_sched_events.slow_flag))

... but I don't want to be that much of a readability nazi ;-)

Thanks,

[PATCH] static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', very_[un]likely(), static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

[Ingo Molnar]

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does 
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a 
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the 
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;



        if (very_unlikely(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (very_likely(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);


The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an 
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note 
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename 
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label 
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to 
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to 
likely()/unlikely() branches.

Thanks,

	Ingo

-        if (very_unlikely(&jump_key))
+        if (very_unlikely(&key))
                 do unlikely code
         else
                 do likely code
 
 Or:
 
-        if (very_likely(&jump_key))
+        if (very_likely(&key))
                 do likely code
         else
                 do unlikely code

 'very_unlikely()' construct. Likewise, a key initialized via
-'JUMP_LABEL_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'very_likely()' construct.
+'STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'very_likely()' construct.
 A single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match
 the way that the key has been initialized.
 
 The branch(es) can then be switched via:
 
-            jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
-            jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
+            static_key_slow_inc(&key);
+            static_key_slow_dec(&key);
 
-Thus, 'jump_label_inc()' means 'make the branch true', and
-'jump_label_dec()' means 'make the the branch false' with appropriate reference
-counting. For example, if the key is initialized true, a jump_label_dec(), will

 the branch back to true. Likewise, if the key is initialized false, a

-'jump_label_dec()', will again make the branch false.
+'static_key_slow_inc()', will change the branch to true. And then a
+'static_key_slow_dec()', will again make the branch false.
 
 An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints:
 
         static inline void trace_##name(proto)                          \
         {                                                               \

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

[PATCH] jump labels: Explain the .config option better

[Ingo Molnar]

 - update the help text as it's not only about trace points anymore
    
 - explain the functional effects of the option prominently, 
   treating the implementational details as a second level of 
   information

Additionally we might also consider renaming CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL 
to:

   CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_STATIC_BRANCHES=y

or so, to make it clearer what it's all really about and makes 
it part of the family of similarly named optimizations - but I'm 
not too concerned about that, as CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL does not 
appear in actual static-key usage sites.

You have specially built eyes I guess - congrats, you are member 
of the 1% :-)

Misleading in what way? It clearly conveys that the slowpath 
that follows is a slowpath, that what follows is 'very 
unlikely'.

This is how all current kernel code is using these facilities.

If you have a new usecase (CPU feature flags) then you should 
outline that, instead of expecting something of current usecases 
that they are clearly not ...

Thanks,

I have to say I don't like the "very_unlikely" name.  It's confusing
because the condition being evaluated appears to be the address of
something, i.e. &perf_sched_events.key in your example, and that looks
to me to be very very likely to be true, i.e. non-zero.  But the code
is telling me that's very *un*likely, which is confusing.

In other words I can't think about "very_unlikely" as being similar to
"unlikely".  Clearly very_unlikely isn't just passing through the
true/falseness of its argument to the surrounding if, the way that
unlikely does; it (very_unlikely) is a real function that is doing
something more complicated with its argument -- dereferencing it,
conceptually at least, for a start.

Just from a readability perspective, I like the static_branch name,
and if we want to add information about the execution bias, I'd
suggest we do:

	if (likely(static_branch(&x))) ...

	if (unlikely(static_branch(&x))) ...

if that can be made to work, or else have variants like this:

   	if (likely_static_branch(&x)) ...

	if (unlikely_static_branch(&x)) ...

Paul.

Having to take the address gives us type safety - i.e. it will 
not be possible to accidentally pass in a non-jump-label key and 
get it misinterpreted.

If some macro magic could be used to remove the address taking 
I'd be in favor of such a simplification, i.e.:

	if (very_unlikely(perf_sched_events.key))

which should address your observation.

Thanks,

	Ingo

So, we could get rid of the '&' with something as simple as:

#define very_unlikely(key) __very_unlikely(&key)

However, it does seem potentially more error prone, b/c if 'key' is
passed to a function, and they we do the very_unlikely() we end up with
the address parameter (due to pass by value). That said, it doesn't look
like anybody is using very_unlikely() in that manner in the tree, and we
could document the usage.

In any case, I did the conversion, to see what it would look like, if
anybody is interested:

The normal way to do this is to make the type an array of size 1.

I agree that it's still error-prone - it also departs from how 
we typically use C APIs in the kernel. With the static_key_*() 
naming there's no desire to make it work like unlikely() anymore 
and there's no need to pass in the object by value - passing by 
reference is fine.

So I don't think we need this.

Thanks,

Ingo, stop with the stupid denialism.

NOBODY likes that name. NOBODY. It's wrong. It's stupid. It sounds
like a stronger "unlikely()", and it simply IS NOT.

So rename it already.

The "type safety" argument seems bogus too. As far as I can tell, it
fails miserably if you test a void pointer for being NULL.

Sure, you can fix that by doing crazy things to the interface, but in
the end, nothing changes the fact that "very_unlikely()" as a name
sounds like an emphatic version of "unlikely()".

Rename it. Make it clear from the name that it is about these static
variables. Everything else seems to be named for that "static_key"
thing, so make the testing of it be named that way too, instead of
using a bad generic naming scheme that is just confusing.

No problem - it's all in a separate subject-to-rebasing branch, 
with the naming patches at the end (to allow the naming 
discussion play out) - which I've just dropped.

At the risk of being flamed some more, where does the confusion 
stem from? Is the source of the confusion the fact that we 
cannot write arbitrary C conditions inside the unlikely() 
portion [like we can do with a regular unlikely()] - but are 
forced to use a specific syntax, a 'key'?

Otherwise, call me stupid, but when I look at the disassembly 
then the defining characteristic of this construct is that it is 
a distinctly stronger unlikely() slowpath branch:

Well, the static_key naming is new, it came from me in the last 
patch (full patch attached below), so I guess you only disagree 
with the very_unlikely()/very_likely() confusion bit, but not 
with the static_key renaming?

My main gripe was the jump-label naming, which was a deeply 
implementational name that was actively confusing (to me).

So, a modified scheme would be:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

Is that API fine? I'll rework the series to such an effect if 
everyone agrees.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Subject: [PATCH] static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key',
 very_[un]likely(), static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (very_unlikely(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (very_likely(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

+'STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'very_likely()' construct.
 A single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match
 the way that the key has been initialized.
 
 The branch(es) can then be switched via:
 
-            jump_label_inc(&jump_key);
-            jump_label_dec(&jump_key);
+            static_key_slow_inc(&key);

+'static_key_slow_inc()', will change the branch to true. And then a
+'static_key_slow_dec()', will again make the branch false.
 
 An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints:

I.e. something like the patch below on top of 
tip:perf/jump-labels.

Untested - will test it and will refactor the series if 
everyone's happy.

Hi Ingo,

Reading your documentation updates makes me realise that adding the
"inline" keyword in there would make the whole thing even clearer:

struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INLINE_TRUE_INIT;
struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INLINE_FALSE_INIT;

static_key_inline_true() / static_key_inline_false()

to show that the "true/false" in there does not mean that the key will
always be true or false (the key value can indeed by changed by calling
static_key_slow_inc/dec), but that the inlined path is either the true
of false branch.

The rest looks fine.

Best regards,

Mathieu

Also, as part of the API, there is a test to check the branch direction
- which was 'jump_label_true(key)', but is now also 'static_key_true(key)', so
we are going to have to change either the branch site or the test for
true/false name. The above 'static_key_inline_true/false' solves that.

Also, I do like having a consistent 'static_key_*' prefix for the entire API -
definitely an improvement for me.

Thanks,

Yeah, there is such an overlap - I've renamed it to 
static_key_enabled(), which makes sense anyway as the original 
was jump_label_enabled()..

Btw., shouldnt it be an inline function? Currently it's:

bool static_key_enabled(struct static_key *key)
{
        return (atomic_read(&key->enabled) > 0);
}

which is the perfect candidate for inlining. The difference to 
static_key_true() is the lack of the jump label patching and the 
lack of an unlikely() hint.

It's generally good practice to make the mostly commonly used 
method names the simplest/shortest names - i.e. I don't think we 
should make it longer via adding an _inline to every use.

In that sense static_key_true() has pretty optimal length - we'd 
like these tests to also be visually unintrusive.

So in the latest patch (still under testing, will push it out 
soon) we have:

	static_key_true()
	static_key_false()
	static_key_enabled()

Yeah.

Yes. I've had thought that too. In fact, it is already 'static inline' for the
!JUMP_LABEL case. So we can probably just remove the function from the
.c and move the 'static inline' such that its defined for all cases.

Yep. Mind sending a patch for that, against latest -tip?

Hi Ingo,

Yes, I think your proposal makes sense. The "_inline_" would add lots of
typing for little clarity value. And I guess people will get used to
these constructs.

So, below is the second version of my 'struct static_key' patch, 
with the confusing very_likely()/very_unlikely() method renamed 
to static_key_true()/static_key_false().

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

So, below is the second version of my 'struct static_key' patch, 
with the confusing very_likely()/very_unlikely() method renamed 
to static_key_true()/static_key_false().

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()

So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does
all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a
more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the
various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels.

Typical usage scenarios:

        #include <linux/static_key.h>

        struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;

        if (static_key_false(&key))
                do unlikely code
        else
                do likely code

Or:

        if (static_key_true(&key))
                do likely code
        else
                do unlikely code

The static key is modified via:

        static_key_slow_inc(&key);
        ...
        static_key_slow_dec(&key);

The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an
expensive operation.

I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note
that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename
blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label
patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to
decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit.

On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to
likely()/unlikely() branches.

[PATCH] static keys: Add docs better explaining the whole 'struct static_key' mechanism

[Ingo Molnar]

Here's the reworked documentation patch from Jason. I extended 
it with a 'Summary' section and propagated the static key 
concept into it where appropriate and fixed a few typos.

Thanks,

	Ingo

+			Static Keys
+			-----------
+
+By: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>
+
+0) Abstract
+
+Static keys allows the inclusion of seldom used features in
+performance-sensitive fast-path kernel code, via a GCC feature and a code
+patching technique. A quick example:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
+
+	...
+
+        if (static_key_false(&key))
+                do unlikely code
+        else
+                do likely code
+
+	...
+	static_key_slow_inc();
+	...
+	static_key_slow_inc();
+	...
+
+The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as little
+impact to the likely code path as possible.
+
+
+1) Motivation
+
+
+Currently, tracepoints are implemented using a conditional branch. The
+conditional check requires checking a global variable for each tracepoint.
+Although the overhead of this check is small, it increases when the memory
+cache comes under pressure (memory cache lines for these global variables may
+be shared with other memory accesses). As we increase the number of tracepoints
+in the kernel this overhead may become more of an issue. In addition,
+tracepoints are often dormant (disabled) and provide no direct kernel
+functionality. Thus, it is highly desirable to reduce their impact as much as
+possible. Although tracepoints are the original motivation for this work, other
+kernel code paths should be able to make use of the static keys facility.
+
+
+2) Solution
+
+
+gcc (v4.5) adds a new 'asm goto' statement that allows branching to a label:
+
+http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg01556.html
+
+Using the 'asm goto', we can create branches that are either taken or not taken
+by default, without the need to check memory. Then, at run-time, we can patch
+the branch site to change the branch direction.
+
+For example, if we have a simple branch that is disabled by default:
+
+	if (static_key_false(&key))
+		printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+Thus, by default the 'printk' will not be emitted. And the code generated will
+consist of a single atomic 'no-op' instruction (5 bytes on x86), in the
+straight-line code path. When the branch is 'flipped', we will patch the
+'no-op' in the straight-line codepath with a 'jump' instruction to the
+out-of-line true branch. Thus, changing branch direction is expensive but
+branch selection is basically 'free'. That is the basic tradeoff of this
+optimization.
+
+This lowlevel patching mechanism is called 'jump label patching', and it gives
+the basis for the static keys facility.
+
+3) Static key label API, usage and examples:
+
+
+In order to make use of this optimization you must first define a key:
+
+	struct static_key key;
+
+Which is initialized as:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
+
+or:
+
+	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;
+
+If the key is not initialized, it is default false. The 'struct static_key',
+must be a 'global'. That is, it can't be allocated on the stack or dynamically
+allocated at run-time.
+
+The key is then used in code as:
+
+        if (static_key_false(&key))
+                do unlikely code
+        else
+                do likely code
+
+Or:
+
+        if (static_key_true(&key))
+                do likely code
+        else
+                do unlikely code
+
+A key that is initialized via 'STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE', must be used in a
+'static_key_false()' construct. Likewise, a key initialized via
+'STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE' must be used in a 'static_key_true()' construct. A
+single key can be used in many branches, but all the branches must match the
+way that the key has been initialized.
+
+The branch(es) can then be switched via:
+
+	static_key_slow_inc(&key);
+	...
+	static_key_slow_dec(&key);
+
+Thus, 'static_key_slow_inc()' means 'make the branch true', and
+'static_key_slow_dec()' means 'make the the branch false' with appropriate
+reference counting. For example, if the key is initialized true, a
+static_key_slow_dec(), will switch the branch to false. And a subsequent
+static_key_slow_inc(), will change the branch back to true. Likewise, if the
+key is initialized false, a 'static_key_slow_inc()', will change the branch to
+true. And then a 'static_key_slow_dec()', will again make the branch false.
+
+An example usage in the kernel is the implementation of tracepoints:
+
+        static inline void trace_##name(proto)                          \
+        {                                                               \
+                if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key))		\
+                        __DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name,                \
+                                TP_PROTO(data_proto),                   \
+                                TP_ARGS(data_args),                     \
+                                TP_CONDITION(cond));                    \
+        }
+
+Tracepoints are disabled by default, and can be placed in performance critical
+pieces of the kernel. Thus, by using a static key, the tracepoints can have
+absolutely minimal impact when not in use.
+
+
+4) Architecture level code patching interface, 'jump labels'
+
+
+There are a few functions and macros that architectures must implement in order
+to take advantage of this optimization. If there is no architecture support, we
+simply fall back to a traditional, load, test, and jump sequence.
+
+* select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL, see: arch/x86/Kconfig
+
+* #define JUMP_LABEL_NOP_SIZE, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct static_key *key), see:
+					arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+* void arch_jump_label_transform(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+* __init_or_module void arch_jump_label_transform_static(struct jump_entry *entry, enum jump_label_type type),
+					see: arch/x86/kernel/jump_label.c
+
+
+* struct jump_entry, see: arch/x86/include/asm/jump_label.h
+
+
+5) Static keys / jump label analysis, results (x86_64):
+
+
+As an example, let's add the following branch to 'getppid()', such that the
+system call now looks like:
+
+SYSCALL_DEFINE0(getppid)
+{
+        int pid;
+
++       if (static_key_false(&key))
++               printk("I am the true branch\n");
+
+        rcu_read_lock();
+        pid = task_tgid_vnr(rcu_dereference(current->real_parent));
+        rcu_read_unlock();
+
+        return pid;
+}
+
+The resulting instructions with jump labels generated by GCC is:
+
+ffffffff81044290 <sys_getppid>:
+ffffffff81044290:       55                      push   %rbp

+
+Without the jump label optimization it looks like:
+
+ffffffff810441f0 <sys_getppid>:

+
+Thus, the disable jump label case adds a 'mov', 'test' and 'jne' instruction
+vs. the jump label case just has a 'no-op' or 'jmp 0'. (The jmp 0, is patched
+to a 5 byte atomic no-op instruction at boot-time.) Thus, the disabled jump
+label case adds:
+
+6 (mov) + 2 (test) + 2 (jne) = 10 - 5 (5 byte jump 0) = 5 addition bytes.
+
+If we then include the padding bytes, the jump label code saves, 16 total bytes
+of instruction memory for this small fucntion. In this case the non-jump label
+function is 80 bytes long. Thus, we have have saved 20% of the instruction
+footprint. We can in fact improve this even further, since the 5-byte no-op
+really can be a 2-byte no-op since we can reach the branch with a 2-byte jmp.
+However, we have not yet implemented optimal no-op sizes (they are currently
+hard-coded).
+
+Since there are a number of static key API uses in the scheduler paths,
+'pipe-test' (also known as 'perf bench sched pipe') can be used to show the
+performance improvement. Testing done on 3.3.0-rc2:

So quite frankly, "very_unlikely()" quite naturally means something
else than you are trying to make it mean.

The fact that EVERY SINGLE OTHER OPERATION that worked on that data
structure used to be named "jump_label_xyz()" and is  now named
"static_key_xyz()" is also a big clue, I think. Naming it anything
else was always a mistake.

Seriously, I don't understand why you don't just use the obvious name.
The data structure is named "static_key". The things that change it
are named "static_key_inc()" or something. So a name like
"static_key_true()" is simply *better*, isn't it?

It's not just about less confusion, it's actually about just having
consistent naming.

Yes, you are right, in hindsight it's indeed obviously and

Okay. I sent out the slightly reworked patch that gets rid of 
this confusion and makes it all consistent.

I agree with Peter.

What about static_branch_true() and static_branch_false().

Or remove the "_branch" part and have static_true() and static_false()?

There are three issues why I insisted for Jason to rename these 
nonsensically 'jump_label' patterned methods before I send any 
more jump label commits to Linus:

The pattern has spread beyond the niche of tracing internals and 
nobody seemed to have any second thoughts about the actual 
readability of these names. That is a major FAIL and it was my 
primary concern.

For those *reading* the code, the similarity of 
very_likely()/very_unlikely() to the likely()/unlikely() 
patterns is *INTENTIONAL*, as functionally the branch site 
itself is very similar to a real branch!

Secondly, for those *writing* such code, you cannot just 
'accidentally' change a unlikely() to a very_unlikely() and get 
something you didn't ask for ...

It is the modification site that is dissimilar (and which is 
slow in the jump label case) - and that is very apparently 
dissimilar that it takes some effort to change these flags. If 
you write such code you have to add the whole jump label 
mechanism to it, which makes it very apparent what is happening 
and makes the costs very apparent as well.

Thirdly, the fact that it's a 'jump label' is an 
*implementational* detail. On some architectures very_unlikely() 
indeed maps to unlikely(), because jump labels have not been 
implemented yet. On some architectures very_unlikely() is 
implemented via jump labels. On some future architectures it 
might be implemented via JIT-ing the target function. (I made 
the last one up)

So it makes sense to decouple 'jump labels' from the actual high 
level naming of this API.

Anyway, I've Cc:-ed Linus and Andrew, I plan to take the renames 
but they can NAK me if doing that is stupid.

Thanks,

	Ingo

I have to VEHEMENTLY disagree with you here.

likely()/unlikely() are supposed to be used when it is clear at the time
the code is written which way the branch is biased or which path is
important (unlikely() is typically used for performance-unimportant
bailouts.)

Jump labels are not that way.  The key aspect for when the jump label
optimization is relevant is *how often is the direction changed*.  It is
perfectly sane for this to be done on a 50:50 branch, as long as the
50:50-ness is settled once for all dring a boot.  Consider, for example,
an Intel CPU versus an AMD CPU.  Wouldn't you agree that it would be
absolutely ridiculous and downright offensive to have:

	if (very_unlikely(cpu_vendor_amd)) {

Yet this is a *fantastic* use of the jump labels, because your CPU
vendor isn't going to change in the middle of execution (hot VM
migrations excepted ;)

So the key aspect of this is the staticness of the conditional, NOT the
degree of bias of the branch.  Hence my past insistence on the
"static_branch" name (rather than "jump_label")... the branch part can
be omitted, as an implementation detail, but the staticness of it is its
absolutely key defining characteristic.

Erm, that's not at all true - jump labels have a strong build 
time bias/assymetry: the conditional block is moved totally out 
of line and the original fall-through code-path is left as 
straight a flow as possible.

Just look at the jump label usage site disassembly and check the 
historic evolution of this feature in the Git logs:

The *primary* benefit of jump labels was always to the 
fall-trough code. We hurt the tracepoint-enabled codepath 
*INTENTIONALLY*, to make sure the overwhelmingly common case of 
them being off is left alone as much as possible.

No, that condition perfectly validly represents what happens in 
reality: that the conditional AMD code is moved *out of line* - 
in most cases penalizing it in terms of instruction scheduling, 
etc.

There is a fundamental assymetry, and intentionally so. You 
*really* have to think what the common case is, and make sure 
the build defaults to that. It's not the end of the world to 
have it flipped over, but there's costs and those costs are 
higher even in the branch path than a regular 
likely()/unlikely().

So you are rather wrong about your expectations - I think that 
is one more piece of evidence that the naming was less than 
optimal.

I don't think you understand this facility as well as you think 
you do.

No, not really -- it's still an unconditional branch, which means you
will not tax the branch predictor in any way and which can be followed
by the front end without taking a speculation hit.  So although there is
an out-of-line penalty -- which you hit for any conditional, after all
you can only have *one* piece of code which is straight line -- it
should be less than for a normal conditional branch.

Uh, no, I do... see the above, but combine that of course with the sheer
astronomical cost of flipping the conditional.

You are talking about CPU level costs, I am also talking about 
costs introduced at build time.

Fact is, jump-label unlikely branches are moved *out of line*: 
they are often in unlikely portions of the function (near other 
unlikely branches), with instruction cache granularity costs and 
potentially higher instruction-cache miss costs attached, etc.

You are missing three important aspects:

Firstly, instead of:

  ins1
  ins2
  ins3
  ins4
  ins5
  ins-compare
  ins-branch
  ins6
  ins7
  ins8
  ins9
  ins10

We have:

  ins1
  ins2
  ins3
  ins4
  ins5
  ins-jump

  [ hole ]

  ins6
  ins7
  ins8
  ins9
  ins10
  ins-jump back

Where the 'hole' fragments the instruction cache layout. Given 
that most of kernel execution is instruction-cache-cold, the 
'straightness' of kernel code matters quite a bit.

Secondly, there's build time instruction scheduling costs as 
well: GCC will prefer the likely branch over the unlikely one, 
so we might see extra instructions in the out-of-line code:


  ins1
  ins2
  ins3
  ins4
  ins5
  ins-jump

  [ hole ]

  ins-extra-1
  ins-extra-2
  ins6
  ins7
  ins8
  ins9
  ins10
  ins-jump back

In that sense jump labels are unlikely() branches combined with 
a patching mechanism.

Thus *both* aspects are important: if a branch is *truly* 50/50 
then it's quite possibly *NOT* a correct optimization to use 
jump-labels as the 'uncommon' code goes through extra hoops and 
fragments out of the fastpath, which in quite many real life 
cases can outstrip the advantage of the avoidance of a single 
branch ...

Thirdly,

even if it's a correct optimization and both branches happen to 
outperform the pre-jump-label version, regardless of the 
direction of the jump label flag, it's *STILL* fundamentally 
assymetric: due to the hole and due to the possible extra 
instructions the out of line code will be slower by a few 
instruction and the NOP fall-through will be faster.

This is fundamentally so, and any naming that tries to *hide* 
that assymetry and the associated micro-costs is confused.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Re: [PATCH 00/10] jump label: introduce very_[un]likely + cleanups + docs

Not arguing that, but the static aspect is still key... or people will read it as another version of likely/unlikely.  I'd be fine with static_likely/unlikely for example; I wish "static" wasn't such an overloaded word in C but I can't.personally think of a better term.

They can *read* it as such, that as is very much intentional! 

People reading such code should indeed treat it as a branch 
probability attribute (and ignore it in 99.9% of the cases).

The moment they *write* static_cond_slow_inc() in real code 
though they will be warned about the speciality and slowness of 
the update path. More so than they are warned by the current 
jump_label_inc() name, me thinks.

Yeah, we considered static_likely()/unlikely() but it is indeed 
overloaded *way* too much, so we went for 
very_likely()/very_unlikely() which also fairly conveys the real 
meaning at the usage site ...

I think the naming scheme I suggested in the other mail 
sufficienty carries both the attribute, bias and update cost 
aspects.

I mentioned this thread on irc and the first comment I received was:

"is that a new attempt at trying to guide the compiler?"

I personally find the very_unlikely() confusing, but then again I like

It essentially is, implemented partly via compiler help, 
combined with runtime code patching, as an extended run-time arm 
of the compiler in essence, to make out of line slowpaths even 
cheaper to have around - to make the fast-path even faster.

Actually, I was partly under the impression that we didn't care if it
was in the fast path. Maybe we need three versions. Let me explain.

We have cases where we want it default disabled and the code called when
enabled should be as out of line as possible. Tracing definitely falls
in this pattern. But we could push a "unlikely(static_branch())" for
such a case (or keep it as very_unlikely()).

Then we have cases where it is default enabled, where we can insert the
code in the fast path. Or do we even care how the compiler places it?
Because this leads us to the third use...

The third use is the case were we don't know the branch should be taken
or not until boot. We don't want the compiler to optimize the paths at
all. This example is for things like CPU features or types (as HPA
explained the "if (very_unlikely(cpu_vendor_amd))". This is the category
that we want to have an efficient system for the running hardware. We
can't bias one way or the other at compile time because frankly, we
don't know the answer until run time. This could also be used by modules
that are drivers for several types of hardware, and it can dynamically
change itself to suit the hardware it is driving.

Because it really just looks like a stronger "unlikely()" and
fundamentally it really isn't. For tracing, sure that can be the way we
look at it, but for the more general case, it is a "We don't know which
way this branch should go most of the time, lets just pick one then
optimize later".

Again, maybe we need a "very_unlikely()" for the tracing case, maybe
even a "very_likely()", but then keep a static_branch() or whatever for
those cases you do not want to optimize at compile time.

One possible naming that might be a good fit:

- read_always_likely()
- read_always_unlikely()
- read_always_branch()

I think it is important to convey both that it is expected to be always
read, pretty much never updated, and the bias, or absence of bias.

I also _like_ to have a relatively long name here, because the update
cost is so high that someone should really think before using this
facility. In my opinion, it's not "just" a stronger likely/unlikely.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

That actually looks even more confusing. "read_always"? What the hell is
that?

Then make it what it is (with a long name...)

	if (jump_label_likely())

	if (jump_label_unlikely())

That's probably the least confusing of the names. And for the cases we
don't care:

	if (jump_label_branch())

The above is the most descriptive and I would say the least confusing.
Someone on IRC said that they wish it had jump_label in the name. As
they see there's a "CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL" it tells us where those jump
labels are used.

Need to go and knock down the bike shed now.

These two variants cover all current uses of jump labels.

Well, the fact is that right now it *is* a stronger unlikely() 
on architectures that have jump-labels and it's mapped to 
unlikely() on others.

That's not how it's used by the scheduler or by perf - and by 
the looks of it that's not how the networking code uses it 
either.

I tend to concentrate on the common case.

... and that's the usecase for the scheduler, for events and for 
networking. I.e. all current usecases in the kernel.

Once such uses arise maybe we could add such an 'unbiased' 
variant.

But the reality is that today jump labels are used for critical 
codepaths that don't want to slow themselves down due to some 
rare feature that is commonly off: this is how tracing, the 
scheduler, perf events and networking uses jump labels.

We already have such use cases, although a lot of them are covered by
static_cpu_has().  However,  I fully expect that we'll have cases that
aren't readily covered by CPU feature flags and I'd like to avoid
reinventing new features.

The scheduler also really wants the very_likely() variant. We have less
use for the unbiased one though.

Yeah, it wants a fastpath and a slowpath and whether it's likely 
or unlikely is situational. So thus it uses both variants in my 
tree:

kernel/sched/core.c:    if (very_unlikely((&paravirt_steal_rq_enabled))) {
kernel/sched/core.c:    if (very_unlikely(&paravirt_steal_enabled)) {
kernel/sched/fair.c:    return very_unlikely(&__cfs_bandwidth_used);
kernel/sched/sched.h:   return very_likely(key); /* Not out of line branch. */
kernel/sched/sched.h:   return very_unlikely(key); /* Out of line branch. */

With no need for an 'unbiased' method.

Let me push out what I have in tip:perf/jump-labels (just 
finished testing it) so that we are all looking at the same 
code.

Thanks,

	Ingo

Has gcc been fix to make it truly an unlikely case and remove the "jmp;
jmp" problem of before? I'm still using gcc 4.6.0 which has the
following code for a tracepoint (example is the
trace_sched_migrate_task().

    5b4a:       e9 00 00 00 00          jmpq   5b4f <set_task_cpu+0x5e>

The above is the jump label that turns into a nop at boot up.

    5b4f:       eb 19                   jmp    5b6a <set_task_cpu+0x79>

Here we jump over some of the trace code (this is the fast path)

    5b51:       49 8b 7d 08             mov    0x8(%r13),%rdi
    5b55:       44 89 e2                mov    %r12d,%edx
    5b58:       48 89 de                mov    %rbx,%rsi
    5b5b:       41 ff 55 00             callq  *0x0(%r13)
    5b5f:       49 83 c5 10             add    $0x10,%r13
    5b63:       49 83 7d 00 00          cmpq   $0x0,0x0(%r13)
    5b68:       eb 41                   jmp    5bab <set_task_cpu+0xba>

Below is the continuation of the fast path.

    5b6a:       48 8b 43 08             mov    0x8(%rbx),%rax
    5b6e:       44 39 60 18             cmp    %r12d,0x18(%rax)
    5b72:       74 0c                   je     5b80 <set_task_cpu+0x8f>


Again, I'm using gcc 4.6.0 and maybe it has been fixed.

No, the jmp jmp problem still exists... I have discussed it with the gcc
folks and they have an idea for how to fix it, but I haven't even gotten
around to filing a formal RFE.

I think this really comes down to the branches being as biased as you
might have wanted for this case.  gcc will reorder its basic blocks
based on what it thinks is best based on some kinds of voodoo and asm
goto is only one type of control transfer it will take into account.

Do you have 'CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE' set?

Yes I do :-p

But that's because the distro config I started with had it set too.

Right, with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE unset, which is the default, at
least on x86, I have not seen a single case of the 'jmp;jmp'.

What the config default is, is unimportant. It only maters to kernel
hackers that build our own kernels. What's important is what distros do.

On debian testing I have in config-3.0.0-1-amd64:

CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y


Although it is not set on the latest fedora 16 config.

Someone should tell debian to turn it off.

Right, we've discussed an 'unbiased' variant a bit before, but I don't 
have a working imlementation for it yet. But I agree all current users are of
the biased variety.

Also, decoupling the higher level interfaces, as Ingo has suggested - 
'very_unlikely' 'static_key', from the lower level 'jump label' naming makes
sense. We might eventually add an 'unbias' variant. Another potential variant
is in the 'bias' case is to move the mostly not taken branch even further out
of line. Another possibilty is a 'switch'-like variant or multi-way jump.

Okay, at least we need something to connect the readout with the key,
otherwise there is nothing that even hints that they are part of the
same fundamental subsystem...

I don't know if key_likely() and key_unlikely() would make sense...

If only that would work.. GCC assumes a bunch of things when you use
'asm goto'. An unbiased 'asm goto' that would take likely() and
unlikely() hints would be ideal, but alas that's not how the thing got
implemented.

Now arguable we could maybe just stick with the static_branch() thing
and decide that GCC is broken for adding bias and not respecting
likely() and unlikely(), but the GCC folks might have an opinion there.

Anyway, if we have to stick with the current implementation then an
unbiased version is impossible to implement.

If we get GCC folks on board to change stuff, who knows.

So I clicked the link Jason provided in his 10/10 Documentation patch
and stumbled upon:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-07/msg01558.html

Where rth suggests that __attribute__((hot,cold)) might work on the
destination labels. Trying this my compiler (4.6.1+crap) pukes all over
me suggesting this isn't (yet) implemented.

Richard, is something like that still on the table?

It's still a possibility.  I gave Jason a patch for that quite some time
ago; I don't recall hearing whether it turned out to actually be useful.

Hi Richard,

One issue we also have is with the jmp;jmp problem... which
fundamentally comes from the following issue:

when asm goto() is used without a fallthrough (a __builtin_unreachable()
immediately after it, only possible in gcc 4.6.1+) then gcc assumes that
it can reorder the successor blocks arbitrarily, since it has to "jump
anyway".  This eliminates the very useful optimization of replacing the
jump with a NOP in the common case.

The alternative, having a fallthrough, means that if gcc has to jump
anyway, then you end up with a jump to a jump, even if the first of
those jumps can usually be nullified.

I talked to H.J. about this, and he suggested that we'd do something
like "assume the first label in the asm goto is the preferred
fallthrough."  I never got around to writing up an RFE bugzilla on this,
but do you have any feelings about how useful this would be?

I don't think I ever quite got it working, and I've unfortunately
misplaced it at this point. I am definitely interested in trying it
again though. If you can re-send it, I'll try it.

Also, I think I seem to recall it wouldn't help the -Os case, b/c we
don't get block re-ordering?

Thanks,

With -Os, your code is going to suck eggs no matter what.
