Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: Optimize __calc_delta.
Date: Wed,  3 Mar 2021 14:46:53 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210303224653.2579656-1-joshdon@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <YD9dUkGhlRT8vvcy@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net>

From: Clement Courbet <courbet@google.com>

A significant portion of __calc_delta time is spent in the loop
shifting a u64 by 32 bits. Use `fls` instead of iterating.

This is ~7x faster on benchmarks.

The generic `fls` implementation (`generic_fls`) is still ~4x faster
than the loop.
Architectures that have a better implementation will make use of it. For
example, on X86 we get an additional factor 2 in speed without dedicated
implementation.

On gcc, the asm versions of `fls` are about the same speed as the
builtin. On clang, the versions that use fls are more than twice as
slow as the builtin. This is because the way the `fls` function is
written, clang puts the value in memory:
https://godbolt.org/z/EfMbYe. This bug is filed at
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49406.
