This patch does not have any functionality change, we only provide a spin count tunes for pthread adaptive spin mutex. The tunable glibc.pthread.mutex_spin_count tunes can be used by system administrator to squeeze system performance according to different hardware capabilities and workload characteristics. The maximum value of spin count is limited to 32767 to avoid the overflow of mutex->__data.__spins variable with the possible type of short in pthread_mutex_lock (). The default value of spin count is set to 100 with the reference to the previous number of times of spinning via trylock. This value would be architecture-specific and can be tuned with kinds of benchmarks to fit most cases in future. * sysdeps/nptl/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.pthread.mutex_spin_count entry. * manual/tunables.texi: Add glibc.pthread.mutex_spin_count description. * nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.h: New file. * nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.c: New file. * nptl/Makefile: Add pthread_mutex_conf.c for compilation. * nptl/nptl-init.c: Put pthread mutex tunable initialization in pthread initialization. * nptl/pthreadP.h: Add a new function max_adaptive_count() to get the maximum adaptive spin value. * sysdeps/generic/adaptive_spin_count.h: Move DEFAULT_ADAPTIVE_COUNT macro to a generic header. * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c: Replace MAX_ADAPTIVE_COUNT by max_adaptive_count(). * nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c: Replace MAX_ADAPTIVE_COUNT by max_adaptive_count(). I would extend my appreciation sincerely to H.J.Lu for his help to refine this patch series. ChangeLog: V10->V11: a) Fix comment style to use GNU style, and fixing indent in adaptive_spin_count.h. b) Update Changelog. V9->V10: a) Remove superfluous comments, as suggested by Adhemerval Zanella b) Use max_adaptive_count() to get the maximum spin count, as suggested by Adhemerval Zanella c) Move DEFAULT_ADAPTIVE_COUNT definition to a generic header and override this header by the architecture in future, as suggested by Adhemerval Zanella d) Use macro DEFAULT_ADAPTIVE_COUNT to replace magic number 100, as suggested by Carlos e) Other minor change on tunable description, as suggested by Carlos f) Change maximum value of adaptive spin count from 30000 to 32767(full short range), as suggested by Adhemerval Zanella. g) Move "struct mutex_config" definition back to pthread_mutex_conf.h, thus, the header pthreadP.h does not have to be included in pthread_mutex_conf.c V8->V9: a) Add the "unistd.h" header file back, or it will cause build regression on 32 bits system. b) Rebase on the latest master branch c) Tested on x86_64 with build-many-glibcs.py V7->V8: a) Refine the pthread tunables description in manual/tunables.texi accordingly to Carlos O'Donell and Rical Jason. V6->V7: a) Patch is refined by H.J.Lu V5->V6: a) Missing "pthread mutex tunables" entry in the menu of tunables.texi, add it. V4->V5 a) Put mutex tunable (glibc.mutex.spin_count) initialization as part of overall pthread initialization, that would avoid the extra relocation, as suggested by Florian Weimer. Thanks for pointing it out! b) Move the READ_ONLY_SPIN macro definition from the third patch to this patch V3->V4 a) Add comments in elf/dl-tunables.list V2->V3 a) Polish the description of glibc.mutex.spin_count tunable with the help from Rical Jasan. b) Get rid of the TUNABLE_CALLBACK_FNDECL macros in pthread_mutex_conf.c, as suggested by Florian Weimer. c) Adjust the default value of spin count to 100 with the reference of the previous spinning way via trylock. V1->V2 a) Renamed nptl/mutex-conf.h -> nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.h b) Renamed nptl/mutex-conf.c -> nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.c c) Change the Makefile to compile pthread_mutex_conf.c d) Modify the copyright "2013-2018" -> "2018" for new added files e) Fix the indentation issue (tab -> double space) in elf/dl-tunables.list f) Remove the env alias LD_SPIN_COUNT in elf/dl-tunables.list g) Fix the typo errors and refresh glibc.mutex.spin_count tunable description in manual/tunables.texi. h) Fix the indentation issue in nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.c i) Fix the indentation issue for nested preprocessor (add one space for each level) Suggested-by: Andi Kleen <andi.kleen@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kemi.wang <kemi.wang@intel.com> --- ChangeLog | 18 ++++++++++++++ manual/tunables.texi | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++ nptl/Makefile | 2 +- nptl/nptl-init.c | 5 ++++ nptl/pthreadP.h | 11 ++++++--- nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.c | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.h | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c | 2 +- nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c | 2 +- sysdeps/generic/adaptive_spin_count.h | 22 +++++++++++++++++ sysdeps/nptl/dl-tunables.list | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++ 11 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.c create mode 100644 nptl/pthread_mutex_conf.h create mode 100644 sysdeps/generic/adaptive_spin_count.h create mode 100644 sysdeps/nptl/dl-tunables.list
