arm64: implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info
Historically, arm64 implemented raw_smp_processor_id() as a read of
current_thread_info()->cpu. This changed when arm64 moved thread_info into
task struct, as at the time CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK made core code use
thread_struct::cpu for the cpu number, and due to header dependencies
prevented using this in raw_smp_processor_id(). As a workaround, we moved to
using a percpu variable in commit:
57c8295 ("arm64: make cpu number a percpu variable")
Since then, thread_info::cpu was reintroduced, and core code was made to use
this in commits:
001430c ("arm64: add CPU field to struct thread_info")
bcf9033 ("sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y")
Consequently it is possible to use current_thread_info()->cpu again.
This decreases the number of emitted instructions like in the following
example:
Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id:
0xffff8000802cd608 <+0>: nop
0xffff8000802cd60c <+4>: nop
0xffff8000802cd610 <+8>: adrp x0, 0xffff800082138000
0xffff8000802cd614 <+12>: mrs x1, tpidr_el1
0xffff8000802cd618 <+16>: add x0, x0, #0x8
0xffff8000802cd61c <+20>: ldrsw x0, [x0, x1]
0xffff8000802cd620 <+24>: ret
After this patch:
Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id:
0xffff8000802c9130 <+0>: nop
0xffff8000802c9134 <+4>: nop
0xffff8000802c9138 <+8>: mrs x0, sp_el0
0xffff8000802c913c <+12>: ldr w0, [x0, #24]
0xffff8000802c9140 <+16>: ret
A microbenchmark[1] was built to measure the performance improvement
provided by this change. It calls the following function given number of
times and finds the runtime overhead:
static noinline int get_cpu_id(void)
{
return smp_processor_id();
}
Run the benchmark like:
modprobe smp_processor_id nr_function_calls=1000000000
+--------------------------+------------------------+
| | Number of Calls | Time taken |
+--------+-----------------+------------------------+
| Before | 1000000000 | 1602888401ns |
+--------+-----------------+------------------------+
| After | 1000000000 | 1206212658ns |
+--------+-----------------+------------------------+
| Difference (decrease) | 396675743ns (24.74%) |
+---------------------------------------------------+
Remove the percpu variable cpu_number as it is used only in
set_smp_ipi_range() as a dummy variable to be passed to ipi_handler().
Use irq_stat in place of cpu_number here like arm32.
