Subject: [PATCH] x86/paravirt: Disable virt spinlock when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS disabled
Date: Thu, 16 May 2024 21:02:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240516130244.893573-1-yu.c.chen@intel.com> (raw)
Performance drop is reported when running encode/decode workload and
BenchSEE cache sub-workload.
Bisect points to commit ce0a1b608bfc ("x86/paravirt: Silence unused
native_pv_lock_init() function warning"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
is disabled the virt_spin_lock_key is set to true on bare-metal.
The qspinlock degenerates to test-and-set spinlock, which decrease the
performance on bare-metal.
Fix this by disabling virt_spin_lock_key if CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS
is not set, or it is on bare-metal.
Fixes: ce0a1b608bfc ("x86/paravirt: Silence unused native_pv_lock_init() function warning")
