Use a basic NOT+AND sequence to clear the Accessed bit in TDP MMU SPTEs,
as opposed to the fancy ffs()+clear_bit() logic that was copied from the
legacy MMU. The legacy MMU uses clear_bit() because it is operating on
the SPTE itself, i.e. clearing needs to be atomic. The TDP MMU operates
on a local variable that it later writes to the SPTE, and so doesn't need
to be atomic or even resident in memory.
Opportunistically drop unnecessary initialization of new_spte, it's
guaranteed to be written before being accessed.
Using NOT+AND instead of ffs()+clear_bit() reduces the sequence from:
0x0000000000058be6 <+134>: test %rax,%rax
0x0000000000058be9 <+137>: je 0x58bf4 <age_gfn_range+148>
0x0000000000058beb <+139>: test %rax,%rdi
0x0000000000058bee <+142>: je 0x58cdc <age_gfn_range+380>
0x0000000000058bf4 <+148>: mov %rdi,0x8(%rsp)
0x0000000000058bf9 <+153>: mov $0xffffffff,%edx
0x0000000000058bfe <+158>: bsf %eax,%edx
0x0000000000058c01 <+161>: movslq %edx,%rdx
0x0000000000058c04 <+164>: lock btr %rdx,0x8(%rsp)
0x0000000000058c0b <+171>: mov 0x8(%rsp),%r15
to:
0x0000000000058bdd <+125>: test %rax,%rax
0x0000000000058be0 <+128>: je 0x58beb <age_gfn_range+139>
0x0000000000058be2 <+130>: test %rax,%r8
0x0000000000058be5 <+133>: je 0x58cc0 <age_gfn_range+352>
0x0000000000058beb <+139>: not %rax
0x0000000000058bee <+142>: and %r8,%rax
0x0000000000058bf1 <+145>: mov %rax,%r15
thus eliminating several memory accesses, including a locked access.
