[PATCH bpf-next v4 0/3] bpf,x64: Use BMI2 for shifts

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With baseline x64 instruction set, shift count can only be an immediate
or in %cl. The implicit dependency on %cl makes it necessary to shuffle
registers around and/or add push/pop operations.

BMI2 provides shift instructions that can use any general register as
the shift count, saving us instructions and a few bytes in most cases.

Suboptimal codegen when %ecx is source and/or destination is also
addressed and unnecessary instructions are removed.

test_progs: Summary: 267/1340 PASSED, 25 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
test_progs-no_alu32: Summary: 267/1333 PASSED, 26 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED
test_verifier: Summary: 1367 PASSED, 636 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED (same result
 with or without BMI2)
test_maps: OK, 0 SKIPPED
lib/test_bpf:
  test_bpf: Summary: 1026 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [1014/1014 JIT'ed]
  test_bpf: test_tail_calls: Summary: 10 PASSED, 0 FAILED, [10/10 JIT'ed]
  test_bpf: test_skb_segment: Summary: 2 PASSED, 0 FAILED

v3 -> v4:
- Fixed a regression when BMI2 isn't available

Jie Meng (3):
  bpf,x64: avoid unnecessary instructions when shift dest is ecx
  bpf,x64: use shrx/sarx/shlx when available
  bpf: add selftests for lsh, rsh, arsh with reg operand
