      Fix IRQ flag handling naming · df9ee292
      由 David Howells 提交于 
      Fix the IRQ flag handling naming.  In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:

	local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
	local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
	local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
	...

and under the other configuration, it maps:

	raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
	raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
	raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
	...

This is quite confusing.  There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.

Change this to have the arch provide:

	flags = arch_local_save_flags()
	flags = arch_local_irq_save()
	arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
	arch_local_irq_disable()
	arch_local_irq_enable()
	arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
	arch_irqs_disabled()
	arch_safe_halt()

Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:

	raw_local_save_flags(flags)
	raw_local_irq_save(flags)
	raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
	raw_local_irq_disable()
	raw_local_irq_enable()
	raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
	raw_irqs_disabled()
	raw_safe_halt()

with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:

	local_save_flags(flags)
	local_irq_save(flags)
	local_irq_restore(flags)
	local_irq_disable()
	local_irq_enable()
	irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
	irqs_disabled()
	safe_halt()

with tracing included if enabled.

The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

      x86/paravirt: Use normal calling sequences for irq enable/disable · 71999d98
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Bastian Blank reported a boot crash with stackprotector enabled,
and debugged it back to edx register corruption.

For historical reasons irq enable/disable/save/restore had special
calling sequences to make them more efficient.  With the more
recent introduction of higher-level and more general optimisations
this is no longer necessary so we can just use the normal PVOP_
macros.

This fixes some residual bugs in the old implementations which left
edx liable to inadvertent clobbering. Also, fix some bugs in
__PVOP_VCALLEESAVE which were revealed by actual use.

      x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels · b4ecc126
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.

It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

 | commit 8efcbab6
 | Date:   Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
 |
 |     paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation

The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test).  The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons).  This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions.  But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).

If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).

Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:

		nopv		Pv-nospin	Pv-spin
CPU cycles	100.00%		99.89%		102.18%
instructions	100.00%		100.10%		100.15%
CPI		100.00%		99.79%		102.03%
cache ref	100.00%		100.84%		100.28%
cache miss	100.00%		90.47%		88.56%
cache miss rate	100.00%		89.72%		88.31%
branches	100.00%		99.93%		100.04%
branch miss	100.00%		103.66%		107.72%
branch miss rt	100.00%		103.73%		107.67%
wallclock	100.00%		99.90%		102.20%

The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.

(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates.  Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined.  On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)

So, what's the fix?

Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls.  For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:

<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq  *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>:	callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>:	nop; nop		/* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>:	retq

One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled).  That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case.  The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.

The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks.  Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin).  Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

      x86, paravirt: prevent gcc from generating the wrong addressing mode · 42854dc0
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware)

When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized
function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX",
which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal
direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it.

At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by
putting the address in a register and generating a two byte
indirect-via-register call.  Prevent this by explicitly
dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the
asm as a constant.

This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable
callsites.

      x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressure · ecb93d1c
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Impact: Optimization

One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously
there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased.
The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain
set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can
use those registers without restriction.  This includes the function
argument registers, and several others.

This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper
thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the
callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can
be conventional compiler-generated code.  In many cases (particularly
performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway,
and need not use the compiler's calling convention.

Standard calling convention is:
	 arguments	    return	scratch
x86-32	 eax edx ecx	    eax		?
x86-64	 rdi rsi rdx rcx    rax		r8 r9 r10 r11

The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers.  The return
register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for
unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value).

Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct
paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the
compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used.

The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are
interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first.  This is
particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway.

XXX Deal with VMI.  What's their calling convention?

      x86/pvops: add a paravirt_ident functions to allow special patching · 41edafdb
      由 Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于 
      Impact: Optimization

Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments,
the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on
native.

On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling
convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return.
On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov".

This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument,
and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a
mov as appropriate.

At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the
pagetable entry conversion functions.

The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks
(2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

      Impact: reduce stack usage, use new cpumask API.

This is made a little more tricky by uv_flush_tlb_others which
actually alters its argument, for an IPI to be sent to the remaining
cpus in the mask.

I solve this by allocating a cpumask_var_t for this case and falling back
to IPI should this fail.

To eliminate temporaries in the caller, all flush_tlb_others implementations
now do the this-cpu-elimination step themselves.

Note also the curious "cpus_or(f->flush_cpumask, cpumask, f->flush_cpumask)"
which has been there since pre-git and yet f->flush_cpumask is always zero
at this point.
