From 6dbde3530850d4d8bfc1b6bd4006d92786a2787f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:15:53 +0900 Subject: percpu: add optimized generic percpu accessors It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new generic percpu methods: percpu_read() percpu_write() percpu_add() percpu_sub() percpu_and() percpu_or() percpu_xor() and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall back to a default implementation) The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable, instead of this sequence: return __get_cpu_var(var); ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx ffffffff8102ca32: 81 ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants: return percpu_read(var); ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use these new generic percpu primitives. tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo --- arch/x86/include/asm/current.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/include/asm/current.h') diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h index 0930b4f8d672..0728480f5c56 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/current.h @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ struct task_struct; DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task); static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void) { - return x86_read_percpu(current_task); + return percpu_read(current_task); } #else /* X86_32 */ -- cgit v1.2.3
