[PATCH v14 00/11] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v13->v14:
- Patches 1 & 2: Add queue_spin_unlock_wait() to accommodate commit
78bff1c86 from Oleg Nesterov.
- Fix the system hang problem when using PV qspinlock in an
over-committed guest due to a racing condition in the
pv_set_head_in_tail() function.
- Increase the MAYHALT_THRESHOLD from 10 to 1024.
- Change kick_cpu into a regular function pointer instead of a
callee-saved function.
- Change lock statistics code to use separate bits for different
statistics.
v12->v13:
- Change patch 9 to generate separate versions of the
queue_spin_lock_slowpath functions for bare metal and PV guest. This
reduces the performance impact of the PV code on bare metal systems.
v11->v12:
- Based on PeterZ's version of the qspinlock patch
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/15/63).
- Incorporated many of the review comments from Konrad Wilk and
Paolo Bonzini.
- The pvqspinlock code is largely from my previous version with
PeterZ's way of going from queue tail to head and his idea of
using callee saved calls to KVM and XEN codes.
v10->v11:
- Use a simple test-and-set unfair lock to simplify the code,
but performance may suffer a bit for large guest with many CPUs.
- Take out Raghavendra KT's test results as the unfair lock changes
may render some of his results invalid.
- Add PV support without increasing the size of the core queue node
structure.
- Other minor changes to address some of the feedback comments.
v9->v10:
- Make some minor changes to qspinlock.c to accommodate review feedback.
- Change author to PeterZ for 2 of the patches.
- Include Raghavendra KT's test results in patch 18.
v8->v9:
- Integrate PeterZ's version of the queue spinlock patch with some
modification:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140310154236.038181843 at infradead.org
- Break the more complex patches into smaller ones to ease review effort.
- Fix a racing condition in the PV qspinlock code.
v7->v8:
- Remove one unneeded atomic operation from the slowpath, thus
improving performance.
- Simplify some of the codes and add more comments.
- Test for X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR CPU feature bit to enable/disable
unfair lock.
- Reduce unfair lock slowpath lock stealing frequency depending
on its distance from the queue head.
- Add performance data for IvyBridge-EX CPU.
v6->v7:
- Remove an atomic operation from the 2-task contending code
- Shorten the names of some macros
- Make the queue waiter to attempt to steal lock when unfair lock is
enabled.
- Remove lock holder kick from the PV code and fix a race condition
- Run the unfair lock & PV code on overcommitted KVM guests to collect
performance data.
v5->v6:
- Change the optimized 2-task contending code to make it fairer at the
expense of a bit of performance.
- Add a patch to support unfair queue spinlock for Xen.
- Modify the PV qspinlock code to follow what was done in the PV
ticketlock.
- Add performance data for the unfair lock as well as the PV
support code.
v4->v5:
- Move the optimized 2-task contending code to the generic file to
enable more architectures to use it without code duplication.
- Address some of the style-related comments by PeterZ.
- Allow the use of unfair queue spinlock in a real para-virtualized
execution environment.
- Add para-virtualization support to the qspinlock code by ensuring
that the lock holder and queue head stay alive as much as possible.
v3->v4:
- Remove debugging code and fix a configuration error
- Simplify the qspinlock structure and streamline the code to make it
perform a bit better
- Add an x86 version of asm/qspinlock.h for holding x86 specific
optimization.
- Add an optimized x86 code path for 2 contending tasks to improve
low contention performance.
v2->v3:
- Simplify the code by using numerous mode only without an unfair option.
- Use the latest smp_load_acquire()/smp_store_release() barriers.
- Move the queue spinlock code to kernel/locking.
- Make the use of queue spinlock the default for x86-64 without user
configuration.
- Additional performance tuning.
v1->v2:
- Add some more comments to document what the code does.
- Add a numerous CPU mode to support >= 16K CPUs
- Add a configuration option to allow lock stealing which can further
improve performance in many cases.
- Enable wakeup of queue head CPU at unlock time for non-numerous
CPU mode.
This patch set has 3 different sections:
1) Patches 1-6: Introduces a queue-based spinlock implementation that
can replace the default ticket spinlock without increasing the
size of the spinlock data structure. As a result, critical kernel
data structures that embed spinlock won't increase in size and
break data alignments.
2) Patch 7: Enables the use of unfair lock in a virtual guest. This
can resolve some of the locking related performance issues due to
halting the waiting CPUs after spinning for a certain amount of
time. The unlock code will detect the a sleeping waiter and wake it
up. This is essentially the same logic as the PV ticketlock code.
3) Patches 8-11: Add paravirtualization spinlock support. This
is needed as paravirt spinlock was enabled by default on
distribution like RHEL 7.
The queue spinlock has slightly better performance than the ticket
spinlock in uncontended case. Its performance can be much better
with moderate to heavy contention. This patch has the potential of
however, will not be able to support TSX.
The queue spinlock is especially suitable for NUMA machines with
at least 2 sockets. Though even at the 2-socket level, there can
be significant speedup depending on the workload. I got report that
the queue spinlock patch can improve the performance of an I/O and
interrupt intensive stress test with a lot of spinlock contention on
a 2-socket system by up to 20%.
The purpose of this patch set is not to solve any particular spinlock
contention problems. Those need to be solved by refactoring the code
to make more efficient use of the lock or finer granularity ones. The
main purpose is to make the lock contention problems more tolerable
until someone can spend the time and effort to fix them.
There had been discussions about using the call site patching mechanism
to patch out the PV unlock code to the simple non-PV unlock code in
x86. The code ran fine in bare-metal systems. However, it was found
that this didn't work with PV guest as it seemed like some lock
and unlock calls were invoked before the PV spinlock initialization
code was run. As a result, there is no easy way to figure out if the
unlock code should be patched in those cases. Various kinds of system
panics happened. Further study needs to done to figure out a way to
work around that. For the time being, unlock call site patching will
not be part of this patch series.

[PATCH v14 01/11] qspinlock: A simple generic 4-byte queue spinlock
This patch introduces a new generic queue spinlock implementation that
can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared
with the ticket spinlock, this queue spinlock should be almost as fair
as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread
and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when
the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected.
Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth
is around 1-3 will this queue spinlock be potentially a bit slower
due to the higher slowpath overhead.
This queue spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large
number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher
in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of
slower inter-node memory traffic.
Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled,
the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying
to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be
contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard
IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting
activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them
to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a
much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index)
leaving one byte for the lock.
Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the
lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to
be used later.

+ * The basic principle of a queue-based spinlock can best be understood
+ * by studying a classic queue-based spinlock implementation called the
+ * MCS lock. The paper below provides a good description for this kind
+ * of lock.
+ *
+ * http://www.cise.ufl.edu/tr/DOC/REP-1992-71.pdf
+ *
+ * This queue spinlock implementation is based on the MCS lock, however to make
+ * it fit the 4 bytes we assume spinlock_t to be, and preserve its existing
+ * API, we must modify it somehow.
+ *
+ * In particular; where the traditional MCS lock consists of a tail pointer
+ * (8 bytes) and needs the next pointer (another 8 bytes) of its own node to
+ * unlock the next pending (next->locked), we compress both these: {tail,
+ * next->locked} into a single u32 value.
+ *
+ * Since a spinlock disables recursion of its own context and there is a limit
+ * to the contexts that can nest; namely: task, softirq, hardirq, nmi. As there
+ * are at most 4 nesting levels, it can be encoded by a 2-bit number. Now
+ * we can encode the tail by combining the 2-bit nesting level with the cpu
+ * number. With one byte for the lock value and 3 bytes for the tail, only a
+ * 32-bit word is now needed. Even though we only need 1 bit for the lock,
+ * we extend it to a full byte to achieve better performance for architectures
+ * that support atomic byte write.
+ *
+ * We also change the first spinner to spin on the lock bit instead of its
+ * node; whereby avoiding the need to carry a node from lock to unlock, and
+ * preserving existing lock API. This also makes the unlock code simpler and

[PATCH v14 02/11] qspinlock, x86: Enable x86-64 to use queue spinlock
This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture
specific layer to enable the use of queue spinlock for x86-64. As
x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue
spinlock may not be apparent. So queue spinlock is not enabled.
Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized
spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the
queue spinlock. Therefore, the use of queue spinlock is disabled when
the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled.
The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86
specific optimization which will make the queue spinlock code perform
better than the generic implementation.

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>
Because the qspinlock needs to touch a second cacheline (the per-cpu
mcs_nodes[]); add a pending bit and allow a single in-word spinner
before we punt to the second cacheline.
It is possible so observe the pending bit without the locked bit when
the last owner has just released but the pending owner has not yet
taken ownership.
In this case we would normally queue -- because the pending bit is
already taken. However, in this case the pending bit is guaranteed
to be released 'soon', therefore wait for it and avoid queueing.

[PATCH v14 04/11] qspinlock: Extract out code snippets for the next patch
This is a preparatory patch that extracts out the following 2 code
snippets to prepare for the next performance optimization patch.
1) the logic for the exchange of new and previous tail code words
into a new xchg_tail() function.
2) the logic for clearing the pending bit and setting the locked bit
into a new clear_pending_set_locked() function.
This patch also simplifies the trylock operation before queuing by
calling queue_spin_trylock() directly.

[PATCH v14 05/11] qspinlock: Optimize for smaller NR_CPUS
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz at infradead.org>
When we allow for a max NR_CPUS < 2^14 we can optimize the pending
wait-acquire and the xchg_tail() operations.
By growing the pending bit to a byte, we reduce the tail to 16bit.
This means we can use xchg16 for the tail part and do away with all
the repeated compxchg() operations.
This in turn allows us to unconditionally acquire; the locked state
as observed by the wait loops cannot change. And because both locked
and pending are now a full byte we can use simple stores for the
state transition, obviating one atomic operation entirely.
This optimization is needed to make the qspinlock achieve performance
parity with ticket spinlock at light load.
All this is horribly broken on Alpha pre EV56 (and any other arch that
cannot do single-copy atomic byte stores).

[PATCH v14 06/11] qspinlock: Use a simple write to grab the lock
Currently, atomic_cmpxchg() is used to get the lock. However, this
is not really necessary if there is more than one task in the queue
and the queue head don't need to reset the tail code. For that case,
a simple write to set the lock bit is enough as the queue head will
be the only one eligible to get the lock as long as it checks that
both the lock and pending bits are not set. The current pending bit
waiting code will ensure that the bit will not be set as soon as the
tail code in the lock is set.
With that change, the are some slight improvement in the performance
of the queue spinlock in the 5M loop micro-benchmark run on a 4-socket
Westere-EX machine as shown in the tables below.

It was also found that this change produced a much bigger performance
improvement in the newer IvyBridge-EX chip and was essentially to close
the performance gap between the ticket spinlock and queue spinlock.
The disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark was run on a 4-socket
Westmere-EX machine with both ext4 and xfs RAM disks at 3000 users
on a 3.14 based kernel. The results of the test runs were:

the xfs filesystem run.

[PATCH v14 09/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Add para-virtualization support
This patch adds para-virtualization support to the queue spinlock
code base with minimal impact to the native case. There are some
minor code changes in the generic qspinlock.c file which should be
usable in other architectures. The other code changes are specific
to x86 processors and so are all put under the arch/x86 directory.
On the lock side, the slowpath code is split into 2 separate functions
generated from the same code - one for bare metal and one for PV guest.
The switching is done in the _raw_spin_lock* functions. This makes
sure that the performance impact to the bare metal case is minimal,
just a few NOPs in the _raw_spin_lock* functions. In the PV slowpath
code, there are 2 paravirt callee saved calls that minimize register
pressure.
On the unlock side, however, the disabling of unlock function inlining
does have some slight impact on bare metal performance.
The actual paravirt code comes in 5 parts;
- init_node; this initializes the extra data members required for PV
state. PV state data is kept 1 cacheline ahead of the regular data.
- link_and_wait_node; this replaces the regular MCS queuing code. CPU
halting can happen if the wait is too long.
- wait_head; this waits until the lock is avialable and the CPU will
be halted if the wait is too long.
- wait_check; this is called after acquiring the lock to see if the
next queue head CPU is halted. If this is the case, the lock bit is
changed to indicate the queue head will have to be kicked on unlock.
- queue_unlock; this routine has a jump label to check if paravirt
is enabled. If yes, it has to do an atomic cmpxchg to clear the lock
bit or call the slowpath function to kick the queue head cpu.
Tracking the head is done in two parts, firstly the pv_wait_head will
store its cpu number in whichever node is pointed to by the tail part
of the lock word. Secondly, pv_link_and_wait_node() will propagate the
existing head from the old to the new tail node.

[PATCH v14 10/11] pvqspinlock, x86: Enable PV qspinlock for KVM
This patch adds the necessary KVM specific code to allow KVM to
support the CPU halting and kicking operations needed by the queue
spinlock PV code.
Two KVM guests of 20 CPU cores (2 nodes) were created for performance
testing in one of the following three configurations:
1) Only 1 VM is active
2) Both VMs are active and they share the same 20 physical CPUs
(200% overcommit)
The tests run included the disk workload of the AIM7 benchmark on
both ext4 and xfs RAM disks at 3000 users on a 3.17 based kernel. The
"ebizzy -m" test and futextest was was also run and its performance
data were recorded. With two VMs running, the "idle=poll" kernel
option was added to simulate a busy guest. If PV qspinlock is not
enabled, unfairlock will be used automically in a guest.

The ebizzy and futextest have much higher spinlock contention than
Additional kernel build tests had been done on an 8-socket 32-core
Westmere-EX system (HT off) with an overcommitted KVM PV guest of 60
vCPUs with no NUMA awareness. The kernels is 3.18-2 based. The build
times of a 3.17 kernel with "make -j 60" are shown in the table below:

PV ticketlock 16m57s 219m17s 189m30s
PV qspinlock 14m47s 188m50s 177m14s
There is a 13% reduction in build time. This is probably caused
by the fact that contended qspinlock produces much less cacheline
contention than contended ticket spinlock and the test system is an
8-socket server.
