commit f5962add74b61f8ae31c6311f75ca35d7e1d2d8f upstream.
On CPUs without FEAT_IDST, ID register emulation is slower than it needs to be, as all threads contend for the same lock to perform the emulation. This patch reworks the emulation to avoid this unnecessary contention.
On CPUs with FEAT_IDST (which is mandatory from ARMv8.4 onwards), EL0 accesses to ID registers result in a SYS trap, and emulation of these is handled with a sys64_hook. These hooks are statically allocated, and no locking is required to iterate through the hooks and perform the emulation, allowing emulation to occur in parallel with no contention.
On CPUs without FEAT_IDST, EL0 accesses to ID registers result in an UNDEFINED exception, and emulation of these accesses is handled with an undef_hook. When an EL0 MRS instruction is trapped to EL1, the kernel finds the relevant handler by iterating through all of the undef_hooks, requiring undef_lock to be held during this lookup.
This locking is only required to safely traverse the list of undef_hooks (as it can be concurrently modified), and the actual emulation of the MRS does not require any mutual exclusion. This locking is an unfortunate bottleneck, especially given that MRS emulation is enabled unconditionally and is never disabled.
This patch reworks the non-FEAT_IDST MRS emulation logic so that it can be invoked directly from do_el0_undef(). This removes the bottleneck, allowing MRS traps to be handled entirely in parallel, and is a stepping stone to making all of the undef_hooks lock-free.
I've tested this in a 64-vCPU VM on a 64-CPU ThunderX2 host, with a benchmark which spawns a number of threads which each try to read ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1 1000000 times. This is vastly more contention than will ever be seen in realistic usage, but clearly demonstrates the removal of the bottleneck:
| Threads || Time (seconds) | | || Before || After | | || Real | System || Real | System | |---------++--------+---------++--------+---------| | 1 || 0.29 | 0.20 || 0.24 | 0.12 | | 2 || 0.35 | 0.51 || 0.23 | 0.27 | | 4 || 1.08 | 3.87 || 0.24 | 0.56 | | 8 || 4.31 | 33.60 || 0.24 | 1.11 | | 16 || 9.47 | 149.39 || 0.23 | 2.15 | | 32 || 19.07 | 605.27 || 0.24 | 4.38 | | 64 || 65.40 | 3609.09 || 0.33 | 11.27 |
Aside from the speedup, there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
