Futex hash computation requires a mask operation with read-only after init data that will be converted to a runtime constant in the subsequent commit. Introduce runtime_const_mask_32 to further optimize the mask operation in the futex hash computation hot path. Since all the current use-cases are of the form GENMASK(n, 0), with n > 0, a single: ubfx w0, w0, #0, #widthm1 // w0 = w0 [widthm1:0] instruction is used for amd64 to improve instruction dinsity and performance. "Arm A-profile A64 Instruction Set Architecture" manual, Sec. "A64 -- Base Instructions" [1] for UBFX instruction highlights the immediate "width" is encoded as width minus 1 in imms (Bits [15:10]) which is patched by __runtime_fixup_mask() once the mask is known. If a future use case arises that needs to tackle arbitrary mask, consider using: movz w1, #lo16, lsl #0 movk w1, #hi16, lsl #16 to patch the 32-bit mask in the asm block and return "__ret & (val)" from runtime_const_mask_32() which allows compiler to further optimize the logical and operation. __runtime_fixup_ptr() already patches a "movz, + movk lsl #16" sequence which can be reused when the need arises. A possible implementation for this alternate scheme can be found at [2].

(Thanks a ton!) o Check the val before using __fls(). Flagged by Sashiko for potential compiler optimizations that can consider val !=0 after an __fls() call and then silently pass the BUG_ON(). --- arch/arm64/include/asm/runtime-const.h | 46 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 46 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/arm64/include/asm/runtime-const.h b/arch/arm64/include/asm/runtime-const.h index 838145bc289d..e221a868c48e 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/include/asm/runtime-const.h +++ b/arch/arm64/include/asm/runtime-const.h @@ -36,6 +36,17 @@ :"r" (0u+(val))); \ __ret; }) +#define runtime_const_mask_32(val, sym) ({ \ + unsigned long __ret; \ + asm_inline("1:\t" \ + "ubfx %w0, %w1, #0, #32\n\t" \ + ".pushsection runtime_mask_" #sym ",\"a\"\n\t" \ + ".long 1b - .\n\t" \ + ".popsection" \ + :"=r" (__ret) \ + :"r" (0u+(val))); \ + __ret; }) + #define runtime_const_init(type, sym) do { \ extern s32 __start_runtime_##type##_##sym[]; \ extern s32 __stop_runtime_##type##_##sym[]; \ @@ -73,6 +84,41 @@ static inline void __runtime_fixup_shift(void *where, unsigned long val) aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync(p, insn); } +static inline void __runtime_fixup_mask(void *where, unsigned long val) +{ + unsigned int width = (val) ? __fls(val) + 1 : 0; + __le32 *p = where; + u32 insn; + + /* + * XXX: Current implementation only supports patching masks of + * form GENMASK(n, 0) (n >= 0) using a single UBFX instruction + * to improve performance, density, and covers all the current + * use-cases. + * + * When the need arises to support any generic mask, and this + * BUG_ON() is tripped, consider using a: + * + * movz %w0, #imm16 + * movk %w0, #imm16, lsl #16 + * + * sequence to load the 32bit const mask, and perform a logical + * and outside the asm block before returning the result.
