The instructions assigned to the vcpu_is_preempted function parameter
in the X86 architecture physical machine are redundant instructions,
causing the multi-core performance of Unixbench to drop by about 4% to 5%.
The C function is as follows:
static bool vcpu_is_preempted(long vcpu);
The parameter 'vcpu' in the function osq_lock
that calls the function vcpu_is_preempted is assigned as follows:
The C code is in the function node_cpu:
cpu = node->cpu - 1;
The instructions corresponding to the C code are:
mov 0x14(%rax),%edi
sub $0x1,%edi
The above instructions are unnecessary
in the X86 Native operating environment,
causing high cache-misses and degrading performance.
This patch uses static_key to not execute this instruction
in the Native runtime environment.
