Which shows us doing an 8 byte load from c00000062ac3fff9, which
crosses the page boundary at c00000062ac40000 and faults.
It's not OK for memcmp to read past the end of the source or
destination buffers if that would cross a page boundary, because we
don't know that the next page is mapped.
As pointed out by Segher, we can read past the end of the source or
destination as long as we don't cross a 4K boundary, because that's
our minimum page size on all platforms.
The bug is in the code at the .Lcmp_rest_lt8bytes label. When we get
there we know that s1 is 8-byte aligned and we have at least 1 byte to
read, so a single 8-byte load won't read past the end of s1 and cross
a page boundary.
But we have to be more careful with s2. So check if it's within 8
bytes of a 4K boundary and if so go to the byte-by-byte loop.

This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits
VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store.
The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM,
who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will
make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any
improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for
KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes
in following mail.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629
And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch.
Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32
bytes. More specifically:
- 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes;
- 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes;
- 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes;
So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking.
The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a
non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes.
This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX
operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to
KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average
execution time with this patch.
And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size
is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

This patch add VMX primitives to do memcmp() in case the compare size
is equal or greater than 4K bytes. KSM feature can benefit from this.

Testing with unaligned and different offset version (make s1 and s2 shift
random offset within 16 bytes) can archieve higher improvement than 10%..

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:
1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly
and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode.
2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly,
then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode.
This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations.
Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on
little endian.
Following is the test result with src/dst having the same offset case:
(a similar result was observed when src/dst having different offset):
(1) 256 bytes
Test with the existing tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp:
- without patch
29.773018302 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.09% )
- with patch
16.485568173 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.02% )
-> There is ~+80% percent improvement
(2) 32 bytes
To observe performance impact on < 32 bytes, modify
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp.c with following:
-------
#include <string.h>
#include "utils.h"
-#define SIZE 256
+#define SIZE 32
#define ITERATIONS 10000
int test_memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);
--------
- Without patch
0.244746482 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.36%)
- with patch
0.215069477 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.51%)
-> There is ～+13% improvement
(3) 0~8 bytes
To observe <8 bytes performance impact, modify
tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp.c with following:
-------
#include <string.h>
#include "utils.h"
-#define SIZE 256
-#define ITERATIONS 10000
+#define SIZE 8
+#define ITERATIONS 1000000
int test_memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);

- With patch

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large
KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a
time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better.
Optimise the loop in a few ways:
- Unroll the byte at a time loop
- For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte
aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte
loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp.
A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte
memcmp was used to measure the performance:
baseline: 29.93 s
modified: 1.70 s
Just over 17x faster.
v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher:
- Use andi. instead of rdlicl.
- Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare
and was a relic from a previous version.
- Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local
atomics.
