2019-09-27vppinfra: implement CLIB_PAUSE () for aarch64 platformsjaszha031-0/+2
Define CLIB_PAUSE () to generate the "yield" instruction. No significant performance changes were observed for clib_spinlock_t and clib_rwlock_t.

2019-08-01vppinfra: refactor clib_rwlock_t to use single condition variablejaszha031-24/+19
Previous implementation of clib_rwlock_t used two spinlocks: one writer lock, and one to guard the counter for the number of readers. This implementation uses a single condition variable rw_cnt which has the following properties: if a writer has the rwlock, rw_cnt = -1 if the rwlock is free, rw_cnt = 0 otherwise, rw_cnt > 0 and rw_cnt = number of readers rw_cnt will never be less than -1 Benchmarking: The results below are the cycle counts from test_rwlock.c, configured so that for 10000 iterations, 6 reader and 6 writer threads on separate cores are spawned such that each writer thread increments a global counter 10000 times in each iteration. For Taishan, 4 reader and 4 writer threads are spawned in each test. x86 Xeon old rwlock: 12.473e8, 11.655e8, 13.201e8, 11.347e8, 13.182e8 x86 Xeon new rwlock: 5.881e8, 5.796e8, 6.536e8, 5.540e8, 5.890e8 Aarch64 ThX2* old rwlock: 9.263e7, 8.933e7, 9.074e7, 8.979e7, 9.378e7 Aarch64 ThX2* new rwlock: 7.221e7, 8.107e7, 7.515e7, 7.672e7, 7.386e7 A72 old rwlock: 3.268e6, 3.200e6, 3.086e6, 3.176e6, 3.170e6 A72 new rwlock: 1.261e6, 1.288e6, 1.251e6, 1.229e6, 1.234e6 *ThunderX2 used additional gcc options "-march=armv8.1-a+crc+crypto+lse" Type: refactor Change-Id: I7c347d3037b36205ab532cbcb52a374c846eb275 Signed-off-by: Jason Zhang <jason.zhang2@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Honnappa Nagarahalli <honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Lijian Zhang <Lijian.Zhang@arm.com>
2019-08-01vppinfra: refactor clib_spinlock_t to use compare and swapjaszha031-2/+10
Tested performance of a CAS implementation (using __atomic_compare_exchange) against a TAS implementation (using __atomic_exchange) using test_spinlock.c and found some performance improvement. Generated assembly for CAS and TAS implementations show that TAS always executes with a load-store dependency, but CAS moves a branch condition between the load and store so that only a load occurs when the lock is free. Benchmarking: The results below are the cycle counts from test_spinlock.c, configured so that for 10000 iterations, 12 threads on separate cores are spawned, each of which increments a global counter 10000 times in each iteration. For A72, 8 threads are spawned in each test. x86 Xeon TAS: 7.333e8, 7.605e8, 7.535e8, 7.485e8, 7.321e8 x86 Xeon CAS: 5.842e8, 5.433e8, 5.389e8, 5.983e8, 5.552e8 Aarch64 ThX2* TAS: 9.852e7, 10.209e7, 9.190e7, 9.600e7, 9.224e7 Aarch64 ThX2* CAS: 7.640e7, 7.486e7, 7.425e7, 7.269e7, 7.534e7 A72 TAS: 7.289e6, 6.963e6, 7.208e6, 6.976e6, 7.200e6 A72 CAS: 1.695e6, 1.608e6, 1.600e6, 1.634e6, 1.746e6 *ThunderX2 used additional gcc options "-march=armv8.1-a+crc+crypto+lse" Type: refactor Change-Id: Ic5cd97991804f6b012707fad1a5d1a6edb96cd3d Signed-off-by: Jason Zhang <jason.zhang2@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Honnappa Nagarahalli <honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Lijian Zhang <Lijian.Zhang@arm.com>
2019-07-31vppinfra: refactor test_and_set spinlocks to use clib_spinlock_tjaszha031-0/+3
Spinlock performance improved when implemented with compare_and_exchange instead of test_and_set. All instances of test_and_set locks were refactored to use clib_spinlock_t when possible. Some locks e.g. ssvm synchronize between processes rather than threads, so they cannot directly use clib_spinlock_t.
