change fomr v1:
a simplier definition of default vcpu_is_preempted
skip mahcine type check on ppc, and add config. remove dedicated macro.
add one patch to drop overload of rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
add more comments
thanks boqun and Peter's suggestion.
This patch set aims to fix lock holder preemption issues.
test-case:
perf record -a perf bench sched messaging -g 400 -p && perf report
18.09% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] osq_lock
12.28% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] rwsem_spin_on_owner
5.27% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_unlock
3.89% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] wait_consider_task
3.64% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] _raw_write_lock_irq
3.41% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] mutex_spin_on_owner.is
2.49% sched-messaging [kernel.vmlinux] [k] system_call
We introduce interface bool vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) and use it in some spin
loops of osq_lock, rwsem_spin_on_owner and mutex_spin_on_owner.
These spin_on_onwer variant also cause rcu stall before we apply this patch set
Pan Xinhui (4):
kernel/sched: introduce vcpu preempted check interface
powerpc/spinlock: support vcpu preempted check
locking/osq: Drop the overload of osq_lock()
kernel/locking: Drop the overload of {mutex,rwsem}_spin_on_owner
