Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] powerpc: queued spinlocks and rwlocks

v3 is updated to use __pv_queued_spin_unlock, noticed by Waiman (thank you).

Thanks,
Nick

Nicholas Piggin (6):
powerpc/powernv: must include hvcall.h to get PAPR defines
powerpc/pseries: move some PAPR paravirt functions to their own file
powerpc: move spinlock implementation to simple_spinlock
powerpc/64s: implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks
powerpc/pseries: implement paravirt qspinlocks for SPLPAR
powerpc/qspinlock: optimised atomic_try_cmpxchg_lock that adds the
lock hint

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] powerpc/powernv: must include hvcall.h to get PAPR defines

An include goes away in future patches which breaks compilation
without this.

Subject: [PATCH v3 4/6] powerpc/64s: implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks

These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when
spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems.

[ Numbers hopefully forthcoming after more testing, but initial
results look good ]

Thanks to the fast path, single threaded performance is not noticably
hurt.

Subject: [PATCH v3 6/6] powerpc/qspinlock: optimised atomic_try_cmpxchg_lock that adds the lock hint

This brings the behaviour of the uncontended fast path back to
roughly equivalent to simple spinlocks -- a single atomic op with
lock hint.

This patch looks OK to me.

I had run some microbenchmark on powerpc system with or w/o the patch.

On a 2-socket 160-thread SMT4 POWER9 system (not virtualized):

On systems on large number of cpus, qspinlock lock is faster and more fair.

With some tuning, we may be able to squeeze out more performance.

Yes, powerpc could certainly get more performance out of the slow
paths, and then there are a few parameters to tune.

We don't have a good alternate patching for function calls yet, but
that would be something to do for native vs pv.

And then there seem to be one or two tunable parameters we could
experiment with.

The paravirt locks may need a bit more tuning. Some simple testing
under KVM shows we might be a bit slower in some cases. Whether this
is fairness or something else I'm not sure. The current simple pv
spinlock code can do a directed yield to the lock holder CPU, whereas
the pv qspl here just does a general yield. I think we might actually
be able to change that to also support directed yield. Though I'm
not sure if this is actually the cause of the slowdown yet.

Thanks,
Nick

Regarding the paravirt lock, I have taken a further look into the
current PPC spinlock code. There is an equivalent of pv_wait() but no
pv_kick(). Maybe PPC doesn't really need that. Attached are two
additional qspinlock patches that adds a CONFIG_PARAVIRT_QSPINLOCKS_LITE
option to not require pv_kick(). There is also a fixup patch to be
applied after your patchset.

I don't have access to a PPC LPAR with shared processor at the moment,
so I can't test the performance of the paravirt code. Would you mind
adding my patches and do some performance test on your end to see if it
gives better result?

Thanks,
Longman

So powerpc has two types of wait, either undirected "all processors" or
directed to a specific processor which has been preempted by the
hypervisor.

The simple spinlock code does a directed wait, because it knows the CPU
which is holding the lock. In this case, there is a sequence that is
used to ensure we don't wait if the condition has become true, and the
target CPU does not need to kick the waiter it will happen automatically
(see splpar_spin_yield). This is preferable because we only wait as
needed and don't require the kick operation.

The pv spinlock code I did uses the undirected wait, because we don't
know the CPU number which we are waiting on. This is undesirable because
it's higher overhead and the wait is not so accurate.

I think perhaps we could change things so we wait on the correct CPU
when queued, which might be good enough (we could also put the lock
owner CPU in the spinlock word, if we add another format).

Great, I'll do some tests. Any suggestions for what to try?

Can you clarify? The slow path is already in use on ARM64 which is weak,
so I doubt there's superfluous serialization present. And Will spend a
fair amount of time on making that thing guarantee forward progressm, so
there just isn't too much room to play.

Going by your jump_label implementation, support for static_call should
be fairly straight forward too, no?

How is this supposed to work? If there is no kick, you have no control
over who wakes up and fairness goes out the window entirely.

You don't even begin to explain...

The LS byte of the lock word is used to indicate locking status. If we
have less than 255 cpus, we can put the (cpu_nr + 1) into the lock byte.
The special 0xff value can be used to indicate a cpu number >= 255 for
indirect yield. The required change to the qspinlock code will be
minimal, I think.

I will just like to see if it will produce some better performance
result compared with your current version.

I don't have a full understanding of how the PPC hypervisor work myself.
Apparently, a cpu kick may not be needed.

This is just a test patch to see if it yields better result. It is
subjected to further modifcation.

Speaking of static_call, I am also looking forward to it. Do you have an

BTW, we can also keep track of the previous cpu in the waiting queue.
Due to lock stealing, that may not be the cpu that is holding the lock.
Maybe we can use this, if available, in case the cpu number is >= 255.

0day had one crash on the last round, I think Steve send a fix for that
last night and I'll go look at it.

That said, the last posting got 0 feedback, so either everybody is
really happy with it, or not interested. So let us know in the thread,
with some review feedback.

Once I get through enough of the inbox to actually find the fix and test
it, I'll also update the thread, and maybe threaten to merge it if
everybody stays silent :-)

We shouldn't need __KERNEL__ in here, it's not a uapi header.

I don't think paca.h needs a CONFIG_PPC64 guard, it contains one. I know
you're just moving the code, but still nice to cleanup slightly along
the way.

Not sure about default y? At least until we've got a better idea of the

Would be nice if we could give a range for "lots".

Mine I suppose would do, as discussed earlier, it probably isn't

Why do we do that rather than just not defining yield_to_any() at all
and letting the build fail on that?

There's a condition somewhere that we know will false at compile time
and drop the call before linking?

Why's that in a header? Should that (eventually) go with the generic implementation?

The PV qspinlock implementation is not that generic at the moment. Even
though native qspinlock is used by a number of archs, PV qspinlock is
only currently used in x86. This is certainly an area that needs
improvement.

We don't really need to do a pv_spinlocks_init() if pv_kick() isn't

Sure, the way the pending not-queued slowpath (which I guess is the
medium-path) is implemented is just poorly structured for LL/SC. It
has one more atomic than necessary (queued_fetch_set_pending_acquire),
and a lot of branches in suboptimal order.

Attached patch (completely untested just compiled and looked at asm
so far) is a way we can fix this on powerpc I think. It's actually
very little generic code change which is good, duplicated medium-path
logic unfortunately but that's no worse than something like x86
really.

Nice, yeah it should be. I've wanted this for ages!

powerpc is kind of annoying to implement that with limited call range,
Hmm, not sure if we'd need a new linker feature to support it. We'd
provide call site patch space for indirect branches for those out of
range of direct call, so that should work fine. The trick would be
patching in the TOC lookup for the function... should be doable somehow.

Thanks,
Nick

I'd like to use it in powerpc. We have code now for example that patches
a branch immediately at the top of memcpy which branches to a different
version of the function. pv queued spinlock selection obviously, and
there's a bunch of platform ops struct things that get filled in at boot
time, etc.

So +1 here if you can get them through. I'm not 100% sure we can do
it with existing toolchain and no ugly hacks, but there's no way to
structure things that can get around that AFAIKS. We'd eventually
use it though, I'd say.

Thanks,
Nick

I am fine with the arch code override some part of the generic code.

I would prefer to extract out the pending bit handling code out into a
separate helper function which can be overridden by the arch code
instead of breaking the slowpath into 2 pieces.

You mean have the arch provide a queued_spin_lock_slowpath_pending
function that the slow path calls?

I would actually prefer the pending handling can be made inline in
the queued_spin_lock function, especially with out-of-line locks it
makes sense to put it there.

We could ifdef out queued_spin_lock_slowpath_queue if it's not used,
then __queued_spin_lock_slowpath_queue would be inlined into the
caller so there would be no split?

Thanks,
Nick

Waiman, if you cannot explain how not having kick is a sane thing, what

Mainly so you could use it in if (IS_ENABLED()) blocks, but would still
catch the (presumably buggy) case where something calls it without the
option set.

I think I had it arranged a different way that was using IS_ENABLED
earlier and changed it but might as well keep it this way.

Yeah the qspinlock_paravirt.h header is a bit weird and only gets
included into kernel/locking/qspinlock.c

The pending code is an optimization for lightly contended locks. That is
why I think it is appropriate to extract it into a helper function and
mark it as such.

You can certainly put the code in the arch's spin_lock code, you just
has to override the generic pending code by a null function.

The current PPC paravirt spinlock code doesn't do any cpu kick. It does
an equivalence of pv_wait by yielding the cpu to the lock holder only.
The pv_spinlocks_init() is for setting up the hash table for doing
pv_kick. If we don't need to do pv_kick, we don't need the hash table.

I am not saying that pv_kick is not needed for the PPC environment. I
was just trying to adapt the pvqspinlock code to such an environment
first. Further investigation on how to implement some kind of pv_kick
will be something that we may want to do as a follow on.

BTW, do you have any comment on my v2 lock holder cpu info qspinlock
patch? I will have to update the patch to fix the reported 0-day test
problem, but I want to collect other feedback before sending out v3.

Longman

I want to say I hate it all, it adds instructions to a path we spend an
aweful lot of time optimizing without really getting anything back for
it.

It does add some extra instruction that may slow it down slightly, but I
don't agree that it gives nothing back. The cpu lock holder information
can be useful in analyzing crash dumps and in some debugging situation.
I think it can be useful in RHEL for this readon. How about an x86
config option to allow distros to decide if they want to have it
enabled? I will make sure that it will have no performance degradation
if the option is not enabled.

Longman

Config knobs suck too; they create a maintenance burden (we get to make
sure all the permutations works/build/etc..) and effectively nobody uses
them, since world+dog uses what distros pick.

Anyway, instead of adding a second per-cpu variable, can you see how
horrible something like this is:

unsigned char adds(unsigned char var, unsigned char val)
{
unsigned short sat = 0xff, tmp = var;

asm ("addb %[val], %b[var];"
"cmovc %[sat], %[var];"
: [var] "+r" (tmp)
: [val] "ir" (val), [sat] "r" (sat)
);

return tmp;
}

Another thing to try is, instead of threading that lockval throughout
the thing, simply:

#define _Q_LOCKED_VAL this_cpu_read_stable(cpu_sat)

or combined with the above

#define _Q_LOCKED_VAL adds(this_cpu_read_stable(cpu_number), 2)

and see if the compiler really makes a mess of things.

"var" (operand 0) needs an earlyclobber ("sat" is read after "var" is
written for the first time).

I can see it potentially being useful for debugging, but I hate the
limitation to 256 CPUs. Even arm64 is hitting that now.

Also, you're talking ~1% gains here. I think our collective time would
be better spent off reviewing the CNA series and trying to make it more
deterministic.

After thinking more about that, I think we can use all the remaining
bits in the 16-bit locked_pending. Reserving 1 bit for locked and 1 bit
for pending, there are 14 bits left. So as long as NR_CPUS < 16k
(requirement for 16-bit locked_pending), we can put all possible cpu
numbers into the lock. We can also just use smp_processor_id() without
additional percpu data.

I thought you guys are not interested in CNA. I do want to get CNA
merged, if possible. Let review the current version again and see if
there are ways we can further improve it.

Sorry, that doesn't work. The extra bits in the pending byte won't get
cleared on unlock. That will have noticeable performance impact.
Clearing the pending byte on unlock will cause other performance
problem. So I guess we will have to limit the cpu number in the locked byte.

That sounds horrific, wouldn't that destroy the whole point of using a
byte for pending?

It's not a lack of interrest. We were struggling with the fairness
issues and the complexity of the thing. I forgot the current state of
matters, but at one point UNLOCK was O(n) in waiters, which is, of
course, 'unfortunate'.

I'll have to look up whatever notes remain, but the basic idea of
keeping remote nodes on a secondary list is obviously breaking all sorts
of fairness. After that they pile on a bunch of hacks to fix the worst
of them, but it feels exactly like that, a bunch of hacks.

One of the things I suppose we ought to do is see if some of the ideas
of phase-fair locks can be applied to this.

That coupled with a chronic lack of time for anything :-(

You are right. I realized that later on and had sent a follow-up mail to
correct that.

That could be a possible solution to ensure better fairness.

That is always true and I feel this way too:-)
