#1505819 — [PATCH/RFC 0/5] cpu_relax: introduce yield, remove lowlatency

FromChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
Date2016-10-21 14:10 +0200
Subject[PATCH/RFC 0/5] cpu_relax: introduce yield, remove lowlatency
Message-ID<suGEq-509-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
For spinning loops people did often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency. For example on s390
cpu_relax gives up the time slice to the hypervisor. On power cpu_relax
tries to give some of the CPU to the neighbor threads. To reduce the
latency another variant cpu_relax_lowlatency was introduced. Before this
is used in more and more places, lets revert the logic of provide a new
function cpu_relax_yield that can spend some time and for s390 yields
the guest CPU.

So my proposal boils down to:
- lowest latency: use barrier() or mb() if necessary
- low latency: use cpu_relax (e.g. might give up some cpu for the other
  threads)
- really give up CPU: use  cpu_relax_yield

The alternative is to keep cpu_relax_lowlatency if there is some need.

Not fully sure about arc/eznps and power, but lets hear first if the
approach is ok.

PS: In the long run I would also try to provide for s390 something like
cpu_relax_yield_to with a cpu number (or just add that to cpu_relax_yield),
since a yield_to is always better than a yield as long as we know the waiter.

#1505823 — [PATCH 4/5] Remove cpu_relax_lowlatency users

FromChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
Date2016-10-21 14:10 +0200
Subject[PATCH 4/5] Remove cpu_relax_lowlatency users
Message-ID<suGO6-5kf-31@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1505819
With the s390 special case of a yielding cpu_relax implementation gone,
we can now remove all users of cpu_relax_lowlatency.

Yay for killing cpu_relax_lowlatency()...

Sparc64, fwiw, behaves similarly to powerpc.

As sparc currently defines cpu_relax_lowlatency to cpu_relax, this patch set
should be a no-op then for sparc, correct?

My intend was that cpu_relax should not add a huge latency but can certainly
push some cpu power to hardware threads of the same core. This seems to be
the case for sparc/power and some arc variants.
