powerpc/qspinlock: powerpc qspinlock implementation

2022-12-02T06:48:02+00:00

Add a powerpc specific implementation of queued spinlocks. This is the build framework with a very simple (non-queued) spinlock implementation to begin with. Later changes add queueing, and other features and optimisations one-at-a-time. It is done this way to more easily see how the queued spinlocks are built, and to make performance and correctness bisects more useful.

powerpc/pseries: Implement paravirt qspinlocks for SPLPAR

2020-07-26T14:01:29+00:00

This implements the generic paravirt qspinlocks using H_PROD and H_CONFER to kick and wait. This uses an un-directed yield to any CPU rather than the directed yield to a pre-empted lock holder that paravirtualised simple spinlocks use, that requires no kick hcall. This is something that could be investigated and improved in future. Performance results can be found in the commit which added queued spinlocks.

powerpc/64s: Implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks

2020-07-26T14:01:23+00:00

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems. With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536 thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs 384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x. Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded performance is not changed (no measurable difference). On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be found here: https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453 Observations are: - Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as expected and as measured with microbenchmarks. - When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better throughput and max latency at all points. - When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency rises when clients are 2x vCPUs. The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking, but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively small systems.

powerpc/spinlocks: Include correct header for static key

2019-12-30T10:20:41+00:00

Recently, the spinlock implementation grew a static key optimization, but the jump_label.h header include was left out, leading to build errors: linux/arch/powerpc/include/asm/spinlock.h:44:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘static_branch_unlikely’ 44 | if (!static_branch_unlikely(&shared_processor)) This commit adds the missing header. mpe: The build break is only seen with CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=n.

powerpc/vcpu: Assume dedicated processors as non-preempt

2019-12-13T10:06:57+00:00

With commit 247f2f6f3c70 ("sched/core: Don't schedule threads on pre-empted vCPUs"), the scheduler avoids preempted vCPUs to schedule tasks on wakeup. This leads to wrong choice of CPU, which in-turn leads to larger wakeup latencies. Eventually, it leads to performance regression in latency sensitive benchmarks like soltp, schbench etc. On Powerpc, vcpu_is_preempted() only looks at yield_count. If the yield_count is odd, the vCPU is assumed to be preempted. However yield_count is increased whenever the LPAR enters CEDE state (idle). So any CPU that has entered CEDE state is assumed to be preempted. Even if vCPU of dedicated LPAR is preempted/donated, it should have right of first-use since they are supposed to own the vCPU.
