Subject: [RFC][PATCH 2/5] refcount: Use atomic_*_ofl()
Date: Wed, 08 Dec 2021 19:36:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211208183906.468934357@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211208183655.251963904@infradead.org>

Use the shiny new atomic_*_ofl() functions in order to have better
code-gen.

Notably refcount_inc() case no longer distinguishes between
inc-from-zero and inc-negative in the fast path, this improves
code-gen:

    4b88:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
    4b8d:       f0 0f c1 43 28          lock xadd %eax,0x28(%rbx)
    4b92:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
    4b94:       74 1b                   je     4bb1 <alloc_perf_context+0xf1>
    4b96:       8d 50 01                lea    0x1(%rax),%edx
    4b99:       09 c2                   or     %eax,%edx
    4b9b:       78 20                   js     4bbd <alloc_perf_context+0xfd>

to:

    4768:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
    476d:       f0 0f c1 43 28          lock xadd %eax,0x28(%rbx)
    4772:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
    4774:       7e 14                   jle    478a <alloc_perf_context+0xea>


without sacrificing on functionality; the only thing that suffers is
the reported error condition, which might now 'spuriously' report
'saturated' instead of 'inc-from-zero'.

refcount_dec_and_test() is also improved:

    aa40:       b8 ff ff ff ff          mov    $0xffffffff,%eax
    aa45:       f0 0f c1 07             lock xadd %eax,(%rdi)
    aa49:       83 f8 01                cmp    $0x1,%eax
    aa4c:       74 05                   je     aa53 <ring_buffer_put+0x13>
    aa4e:       85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
    aa50:       7e 1e                   jle    aa70 <ring_buffer_put+0x30>
    aa52:       c3                      ret

to:

    a980:       b8 ff ff ff ff          mov    $0xffffffff,%eax
    a985:       f0 0f c1 07             lock xadd %eax,(%rdi)
    a989:       83 e8 01                sub    $0x1,%eax
    a98c:       78 20                   js     a9ae <ring_buffer_put+0x2e>
    a98e:       74 01                   je     a991 <ring_buffer_put+0x11>
    a990:       c3                      ret

XXX atomic_dec_and_test_ofl() is strictly stronger ordered than
refcount_dec_and_test() is defined -- Power and Arrghh64 ?
