Subject: [PATCH v9 4/7] tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU
Date: Thu, 21 Jun 2018 15:32:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180621223236.211495-5-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180621223236.211495-1-joel@joelfernandes.org>

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>

In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance
overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to
calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the
tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this,
we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle.
Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu
version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about
entry into RCU sections.

In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the
trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance
alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints.

Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints.

Here are some performance numbers:

With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance
with 1GB memory:
hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000

Completion times in seconds. CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.

No patches (without this series)
Mean: 3.048
Median: 3.025
Std Dev: 0.064

With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with RCU implementation:
Mean: 3.451   (-11.66 %)
Median: 3.447 (-12.22%)
Std Dev: 0.049

With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with SRCU implementation (this series):
Mean: 3.020   (I would consider the improvement against the "without
	       this series" case as just noise).
Median: 3.013
Std Dev: 0.033
