From 6065a244a039a23d933e4b803a4e052da2849208 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 12:30:47 -0500 Subject: ia64: Replace __get_cpu_var uses __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : #define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var))) __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base. Transformations done to __get_cpu_var() 1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y); 2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]); int *x = __get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y); 3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu variable. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int x = __get_cpu_var(y) Converts to int x = __this_cpu_read(y); 4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y); struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y); Converts to memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x)); 5. Assignment to a per cpu variable DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y) __get_cpu_var(y) = x; Converts to __this_cpu_write(y, x); 6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); __get_cpu_var(y)++ Converts to __this_cpu_inc(y) Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo --- arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h') diff --git a/arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h b/arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h index 029bab36cd91..668786e84af8 100644 --- a/arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h +++ b/arch/ia64/include/asm/hw_irq.h @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ static inline ia64_vector __ia64_irq_to_vector(int irq) static inline unsigned int __ia64_local_vector_to_irq (ia64_vector vec) { - return __get_cpu_var(vector_irq)[vec]; + return __this_cpu_read(vector_irq[vec]); } #endif -- cgit v1.2.3
