Subject: [PATCH 7/8] perf/hw_breakpoint: Optimize task_bp_pinned() if CPU-independent
Running the perf benchmark with (note: more aggressive parameters vs.
preceding changes, but same host with 256 CPUs):
| $> perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 100 threads with 4 breakpoints and 128 parallelism
| Total time: 1.953 [sec]
|
| 38.146289 usecs/op
| 4882.725000 usecs/op/cpu
16.29% [kernel] [k] rhashtable_jhash2
16.19% [kernel] [k] osq_lock
14.22% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
8.58% [kernel] [k] task_bp_pinned
8.30% [kernel] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
4.03% [kernel] [k] smp_cfm_core_cond
2.97% [kernel] [k] toggle_bp_slot
2.94% [kernel] [k] bcmp
We can see that a majority of the time is now spent hashing task
pointers to index into task_bps_ht in task_bp_pinned().
However, if task_bp_pinned()'s computation is independent of any CPU,
i.e. always `iter->cpu < 0`, the result for each invocation will be
identical. With increasing CPU-count, this problem worsens.
Instead, identify if every call to task_bp_pinned() is CPU-independent,
and cache the result. Use the cached result instead of a call to
task_bp_pinned(), now __task_bp_pinned(), with task_bp_pinned() deciding
if the cached result can be used.
After this optimization:
21.96% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
16.39% [kernel] [k] osq_lock
9.82% [kernel] [k] toggle_bp_slot
9.81% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
4.93% [kernel] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner
4.71% [kernel] [k] smp_cfm_core_cond
4.30% [kernel] [k] __reserve_bp_slot
2.65% [kernel] [k] cpumask_next
Showing that the time spent hashing keys has become insignificant.
With the given benchmark parameters, however, we see no statistically
significant improvement in performance on the test system with 256 CPUs.
This is very likely due to the benchmark parameters being too aggressive
and contention elsewhere becoming dominant.
Indeed, when using the less aggressive parameters from the preceding
changes, we now observe:
| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| # Running 'breakpoint/thread' benchmark:
| # Created/joined 30 threads with 4 breakpoints and 64 parallelism
| Total time: 0.071 [sec]
|
| 37.134896 usecs/op
| 2376.633333 usecs/op/cpu
Which is an improvement of 12% compared to without this optimization
(baseline is 42 usecs/op). This is now only 5% slower than the
theoretical ideal (constraints disabled), and 18% slower than no
breakpoints at all.
[ While we're here, swap task_bp_pinned()'s bp and cpu arguments to be
more consistent with other functions (which have bp first, before the
cpu argument). ]
