Subject: [RFC PATCH 04/16] x86/split_lock: Use non locked bit set instruction in set_cpu_cap
Date: Sun, 27 May 2018 08:45:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1527435965-202085-5-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1527435965-202085-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>
set_bit() called by set_cpu_cap() is a locked bit set instruction for
atomic operation.
Since the c->x86_capability can span two cache lines depending on kernel
configuration and building evnironment, the locked bit set instruction may
cause #AC exception when #AC exception for split lock is enabled.
But set_cpu_cap() is only called in early init phase on one CPU and
therefore there is no contention for set_cpu_cap(). It's unnecessary
to be atomic operation.
Using __set_bit(), which is not a locked instruction, is faster than
the locked instruction and can fix kernel split lock issue.
