i was contemplating this, and I would suggest one of two optimizations:
1. have all the helpers return a struct containing a u64 and a bool,
and use that bool. The compiler should do okay.
2. Be sneaky. Later in the series, you do:
if (unlikely((s64)cycles < 0))
return vdso_fallback_gettime(clk, ts);
- ns += (cycles - gtod->cycle_last) * gtod->mult;
+ if (cycles > last)
+ ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult;
How about:
if (unlikely((s64)cycles <= last)) {
if (cycles < 0) [or cycles == -1 or whatever]
return vdso_fallback_gettime;
} else {
ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult;
}
which should actually make this whole mess be essentially free.
Also, I'm not entirely convinced that this "last" thing is needed at
all. John, what's the scenario under which we need it?

[patch V2 10/11] x86/vdso: Move cycle_last handling into the caller
Dereferencing gtod->cycle_last all over the place and foing the cycles <
last comparison in the vclock read functions generates horrible code. Doing
it at the call site is much better and gains a few cycles both for TSC and
pvclock.
Caveat: This adds the comparison to the hyperv vclock as well, but I have
no way to test that.

[patch V2 08/11] x86/vdso: Replace the clockid switch case
Now that the time getter functions use the clockid as index into the
storage array for the base time access, the switch case can be replaced.
- Check for clockid >= MAX_CLOCKS and for negative clockid (CPU/FD) first
and call the fallback function right away.
- After establishing that clockid is < MAX_CLOCKS, convert the clockid to a
bitmask
- Check for the supported high resolution and coarse functions by anding
the bitmask of supported clocks and check whether a bit is set.
This completely avoids jump tables, reduces the number of conditionals and
makes the VDSO extensible for other clock ids.

[patch V2 09/11] x86/vdso: Simplify the invalid vclock case
The code flow for the vclocks is convoluted as it requires the vclocks
which can be invalidated separately from the vsyscall_gtod_data sequence to
store the fact in a separate variable. That's inefficient.
Restructure the code so the vclock readout returns cycles and the
conversion to nanoseconds is handled at the call site.
If the clock gets invalidated or vclock is already VCLOCK_NONE, return
U64_MAX as the cycle value, which is invalid for all clocks and leave the
sequence loop immediately in that case by calling the fallback function
directly.
This allows to remove the gettimeofday fallback as it now uses the
clock_gettime() fallback and does the nanoseconds to microseconds
conversion in the same way as it does when the vclock is functional. It
does not make a difference whether the division by 1000 happens in the
kernel fallback or in userspace.
Generates way better code and gains a few cycles back.

[patch V2 05/11] x86/vdso: Introduce and use vgtod_ts
It's desired to support more clocks in the VDSO, e.g. CLOCK_TAI. This
results either in indirect calls due to the larger switch case, which then
requires retpolines or when the compiler is forced to avoid jump tables it
results in even more conditionals.
To avoid both variants which are bad for performance the high resolution
functions and the coarse grained functions will be collapsed into one for
each. That requires to store the clock specific base time in an array.
Introcude struct vgtod_ts for storage and convert the data store, the
update function and the individual clock functions over to use it.
The new storage does not longer use gtod_long_t for seconds depending on 32
or 64 bit compile because this needs to be the full 64bit value even for
32bit when a Y2038 function is added. No point in keeping the distinction
alive in the internal representation.

[patch V2 04/11] x86/vdso: Use unsigned int consistently for vsyscall_gtod_data::seq
The sequence count in vgtod_data is unsigned int, but the call sites use
unsigned long, which is a pointless exercise. Fix the call sites and
replace 'unsigned' with unsinged 'int' while at it.

[patch V2 03/11] x86/vdso: Enforce 64bit clocksource
All VDSO clock sources are TSC based and use CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64). There is
no point in masking with all FF. Get rid of it and enforce the mask in the
sanity checker.

[patch V2 00/11] x86/vdso: Cleanups, simmplifications and CLOCK_TAI support
Matt attempted to add CLOCK_TAI support to the VDSO clock_gettime() implementation, which extended the clockid switch case and added yet another slightly different copy of the same code. Especially the extended switch case is problematic as the compiler tends to generate a jump table which then requires to use retpolines. If jump tables are disabled it adds yet another conditional to the existing maze. This series takes a different approach by consolidating the almost identical functions into one implementation for high resolution clocks and one for the coarse grained clock ids by storing the base data for each clock id in an array which is indexed by the clock id. This completely eliminates the switch case and allows further simplifications of the code base, which at the end all together gain a few cycles performance or at least stay on par with todays code. The resulting performance depends heavily on the micro architecture and the compiler. Changes vs. V1: - Fix the VCLOCK_MAX sanity check - Remove the magic clock masking and extend the storage array Thanks, tglx 8<--- arch/x86/Kconfig|1 arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c| 199 arch/x86/entry/vsyscall/vsyscall_gtod.c | 55 arch/x86/include/asm/vgtod.h| 42 +++--- arch/x86/kernel/time.c | 22 +++ include/linux/clocksource.h |5 kernel/time/Kconfig |4 kernel/time/clocksource.c |2 8 files changed, 140 insertions(+), 190 deletions(-) ___ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization

In principle consolidating all those implementations should be possible to some extent and probably worthwhile.
