locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures
All the locking related cmpxchg's in the following functions are replaced with the _acquire variants: - pv_queued_spin_steal_lock() - trylock_clear_pending() This change should help performance on architectures that use LL/SC. The cmpxchg in pv_kick_node() is replaced with a relaxed version with explicit memory barrier to make sure that it is fully ordered in the writing of next->lock and the reading of pn->state whether the cmpxchg is a success or failure without affecting performance in non-LL/SC architectures. On a 2-socket 12-core 96-thread Power8 system with pvqspinlock explicitly enabled, the performance of a locking microbenchmark with and without this patch on a 4.13-rc4 kernel with Xinhui's PPC qspinlock patch were as follows: # of thread w/o patch with patch % Change ----------- --------- ---------- -------- 8 5054.8 Mop/s 5209.4 Mop/s +3.1% 16 3985.0 Mop/s 4015.0 Mop/s +0.8% 32 2378.2 Mop/s 2396.0 Mop/s +0.7% Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> Cc: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Pan Xinhui <xinhui@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1502741222-24360-1-git-send-email-longman@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
