[PATCH v16 00/14] qspinlock: a 4-byte queue spinlock with PV support
v15->v16:
- Remove the lfsr patch and use linear probing as lfsr is not really
necessary in most cases.
- Move the paravirt PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK code to an asm header.
- Add a patch to collect PV qspinlock statistics which also
supersedes the PV lock hash debug patch.
- Add PV qspinlock performance numbers.
v14->v15:
- Incorporate PeterZ's v15 qspinlock patch and improve upon the PV
qspinlock code by dynamically allocating the hash table as well
as some other performance optimization.
- Simplified the Xen PV qspinlock code as suggested by David Vrabel
<david.vrabel at citrix.com>.
- Add benchmarking data for 3.19 kernel to compare the performance
of a spinlock heavy test with and without the qspinlock patch
under different cpufreq drivers and scaling governors.
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 8-14: 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.
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.
The PV portion of the patch series is geared toward performance
optimization for bare metal. However, the qspinlock performance in
virtual guest should still be comparable with ticket spinlock at low
load and much better at high load.
Native qspinlock patch performance
----------------------------------
In term of the performance benefit of this patch, I ran the
high_systime workload (which does a lot of fork() and exit())
at various load levels (500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 users) on a
4-socket IvyBridge-EX bare-metal system (60 cores, 120 threads)
with intel_pstate driver and performance scaling governor. The JPM
(jobs/minutes) and execution time results were as follows:
Kernel JPM Execution Time
------ --- --------------
At 500 users:
3.19 118857.14 26.25s
3.19-qspinlock 134889.75 23.13s
% change +13.5% -11.9%
At 1000 users:

% change +17.3% -14.8%
At 1500 users:
3.19 177272.73 52.80s
3.19-qspinlock 326132.40 28.70s
% change +84.0% -45.6%
At 2000 users:
3.19 196690.31 63.45s
3.19-qspinlock 341730.56 36.52s
% change +73.7% -42.4%
It turns out that this workload was causing quite a lot of spinlock
contention in the vanilla 3.19 kernel. The performance advantage of
this patch increases with heavier loads.
With the powersave governor, the JPM data were as follows:
Users 3.19 3.19-qspinlock % Change
----- ---- -------------- --------
500 112635.38 132596.69 +17.7%
1000 171240.40 240369.80 +40.4%
1500 130507.53 324436.74 +148.6%
2000 175972.93 341637.01 +94.1%
With the qspinlock patch, there wasn't too much difference in
performance between the 2 scaling governors. Without this patch,
the powersave governor was much slower than the performance governor.
By disabling the intel_pstate driver and use acpi_cpufreq instead,
the benchmark performance (JPM) at 1000 users level for the performance
and ondemand governors were:
Governor 3.19 3.19-qspinlock % Change
-------- ---- -------------- --------
performance 124949.94 219950.65 +76.0%
ondemand 4838.90 206690.96 +4171%
The performance was just horrible when there was significant spinlock
contention with the ondemand governor. There was also significant
run-to-run variation. A second run of the same benchmark gave a result
of 22115 JPMs. With the qspinlock patch, however, the performance was
much more stable under different cpufreq drivers and governors. That
is not the case with the default ticket spinlock implementation.
The %CPU times spent on spinlock contention (from perf) with the
performance governor and the intel_pstate driver were:

This demonstrates the benefit of this patch for those applications
that run on multi-socket machines and can cause significant spinlock
contentions in the kernel.
I also 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%.
Daniel Blueman of NumaScale had tested the v14 qspinlock patch on an

The compute workload is mostly userspace code with some synchronization
between working threads (HPC type workload). With large user count, the
patched kernel has close to 8X the performance of an unpatched kernel.
Paravirt qspinlock patch performance
------------------------------------
A linux kernel build workload (make -j <n>) was run on KVM and Xen
guests with and without the qspinlock patch. The host machine was
an 8-socket Westmere-EX server with 4 active cores/socket (8x4).
For the KVM test, the VM configurations were:
1) 32 NUMA-pinned vCPUs (8x4)
2) 32 vCPUs (no pinning or NUMA)
3) 60 vCPUs (overcommitted)
The kernel build times for different 4.0-rc6 based kernels were:
Kernel VM1 VM2 VM3
------ --- --- ---
PV ticket lock 3m49.7s 11m45.6s 15m59.3s
PV qspinlock 3m50.4s 5m51.6s 15m33.6s
For VM1, both the qspinlock and ticket lock have essentially the same
performance. VM2 illustrated the performance benefit of qspinlock
versus ticket spinlock which got reduced in VM3 due to the overhead
of constant vCPUs halting and kicking.
For the Xen test, the VM configurations were:
1) 32 vCPUs (no pinning or NUMA)
2) 64 vCPUs
2) 128 vCPUs
The kernel build times for different 4.0 based kernels were:
Kernel VM1 VM2 VM3
------ --- --- ---
PV ticket lock 7m27.3s 16m14.1s 18m26.9s
PV qspinlock 5m51.6s 12m02.6s 14m19.2s
Here, the PV qspinlock was faster than the PV ticket lock.

[PATCH v16 01/14] 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

+ * 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
+ * faster.

[PATCH v16 02/14] 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.

1.7.1
From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <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 v16 04/14] 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 v16 05/14] qspinlock: Optimize for smaller NR_CPUS
From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <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 v16 06/14] 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:

[PATCH v16 08/14] pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock
Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.

[PATCH v16 09/14] pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching
From: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz at infradead.org>
We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:
native_queue_spin_lock_slowpath() __pv_queue_spin_lock_slowpath()
native_queue_spin_unlock() __pv_queue_spin_unlock()
We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.
We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.
This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.

[PATCH v16 12/14] pvqspinlock: Only kick CPU at unlock time
Before this patch, a CPU may have been kicked twice before getting
the lock - one before it becomes queue head and once before it gets
the lock. All these CPU kicking and halting (VMEXIT) can be expensive
and slow down system performance, especially in an overcommitted guest.
This patch adds a new vCPU state (vcpu_hashed) which enables the code
to delay CPU kicking until at unlock time. Once this state is set,
the new lock holder will set _Q_SLOW_VAL and fill in the hash table
on behalf of the halted queue head vCPU.
It also adds a second synchronization point in __pv_queue_spin_unlock()
so as to do the pv_kick() only if it is really necessary.

[PATCH v16 13/14] pvqspinlock: Improve slowpath performance by avoiding cmpxchg
In the pv_scan_next() function, the slow cmpxchg atomic operation is
performed even if the other CPU is not even close to being halted. This
extra cmpxchg can harm slowpath performance.
This patch introduces the new mayhalt flag to indicate if the other
spinning CPU is close to being halted or not. The current threshold
for x86 is 2k cpu_relax() calls. If this flag is not set, the other
spinning CPU will have at least 2k more cpu_relax() calls before
it can enter the halt state. This should give enough time for the
setting of the locked flag in struct mcs_spinlock to propagate to
that CPU without using atomic op.

[PATCH v16 14/14] pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics
This patch enables the accumulation of PV qspinlock statistics
when either one of the following three sets of CONFIG parameters
are enabled:
1) CONFIG_LOCK_STAT && CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
2) CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS
3) CONFIG_XEN_DEBUG_FS
The accumulated lock statistics will be reported in debugfs under the
pv-qspinlock directory.

I'm not at all sure you can make assumptions like that. And the worst part is, if it goes wrong the borkage is subtle and painful.

[PATCH v16 08/14] pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock
I changed it to the below; I've not gotten around to compiling or even
running it yet :-(
The biggest change is the pv_hash/pv_unhash functions, which I've
rewritten to hopefully be clearer (and also hopefully not wrecked them).
I took out the cacheline sized structure which takes out that double
loop and simplifies things. I've also added some comments which
hopefully explain how/why we ended up with this exact scheme.
I've also moved the __pv_queue_spin_unlock() function to the tail, such
that we keep the 'wait'/'kick' order for both node and head.
In any case, like I just wrote on the other email, I've stuck some
things in my queue (up to and including patch 11) and if it all works
out we can continue from there.

Subject: pvqspinlock: Implement simple paravirt support for the qspinlock
From: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long at hp.com>
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 14:56:37 -0400
Provide a separate (second) version of the spin_lock_slowpath for
paravirt along with a special unlock path.
The second slowpath is generated by adding a few pv hooks to the
normal slowpath, but where those will compile away for the native
case, they expand into special wait/wake code for the pv version.
The actual MCS queue can use extra storage in the mcs_nodes[] array to
keep track of state and therefore uses directed wakeups.
The head contender has no such storage directly visible to the
unlocker. So the unlocker searches a hash table with open addressing
using a simple binary Galois linear feedback shift register.
