Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] glibc: sched_getcpu(): use rseq cpu_id TLS on Linux
Date:   Fri,  2 Nov 2018 07:52:59 -0400
Message-Id: <20181102115259.11383-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
In-Reply-To: <20181102115259.11383-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
References: <20181102115259.11383-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

When available, use the cpu_id field from __rseq_abi on Linux to
implement sched_getcpu(). Fall-back on the vgetcpu vDSO if unavailable.

Benchmarks:

x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@2.40GHz, 16-core, hyperthreading

glibc sched_getcpu():                     13.7 ns (baseline)
glibc sched_getcpu() using rseq:           2.5 ns (speedup:  5.5x)
inline load cpuid from __rseq_abi TLS:     0.8 ns (speedup: 17.1x)
