locking/qspinlock: Introduce a simple generic 4-byte queued spinlock This patch introduces a new generic queued spinlock implementation that can serve as an alternative to the default ticket spinlock. Compared with the ticket spinlock, this queued spinlock should be almost as fair as the ticket spinlock. It has about the same speed in single-thread and it can be much faster in high contention situations especially when the spinlock is embedded within the data structure to be protected. Only in light to moderate contention where the average queue depth is around 1-3 will this queued spinlock be potentially a bit slower due to the higher slowpath overhead. This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of slower inter-node memory traffic. Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled, the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a spinlock. Ignoring interrupt handling, a CPU can only be contending in one spinlock at any one time. Counting soft IRQ, hard IRQ and NMI, a CPU can only have a maximum of 4 concurrent lock waiting activities. By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index) leaving one byte for the lock. Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to be used later.

powerpc/64s: Implement queued spinlocks and rwlocks These have shown significantly improved performance and fairness when spinlock contention is moderate to high on very large systems. With this series including subsequent patches, on a 16 socket 1536 thread POWER9, a stress test such as same-file open/close from all CPUs gets big speedups, 11620op/s aggregate with simple spinlocks vs 384158op/s (33x faster), where the difference in throughput between the fastest and slowest thread goes from 7x to 1.4x. Thanks to the fast path being identical in terms of atomics and barriers (after a subsequent optimisation patch), single threaded performance is not changed (no measurable difference). On smaller systems, performance and fairness seems to be generally improved. Using dbench on tmpfs as a test (that starts to run into kernel spinlock contention), a 2-socket OpenPOWER POWER9 system was tested with bare metal and KVM guest configurations. Results can be found here: https://github.com/linuxppc/issues/issues/305#issuecomment-663487453 Observations are: - Queued spinlocks are equal when contention is insignificant, as expected and as measured with microbenchmarks. - When there is contention, on bare metal queued spinlocks have better throughput and max latency at all points. - When virtualised, queued spinlocks are slightly worse approaching peak throughput, but significantly better throughput and max latency at all points beyond peak, until queued spinlock maximum latency rises when clients are 2x vCPUs. The regressions haven't been analysed very well yet, there are a lot of things that can be tuned, particularly the paravirtualised locking, but the numbers already look like a good net win even on relatively small systems.

This queued spinlock is especially suit to NUMA machines with a large number of cores as the chance of spinlock contention is much higher in those machines. The cost of contention is also higher because of slower inter-node memory traffic. Due to the fact that spinlocks are acquired with preemption disabled, the process will not be migrated to another CPU while it is trying to get a spinlock.

By allocating a set of per-cpu queue nodes and used them to form a waiting queue, we can encode the queue node address into a much smaller 24-bit size (including CPU number and queue node index) leaving one byte for the lock. Please note that the queue node is only needed when waiting for the lock. Once the lock is acquired, the queue node can be released to be used later.
