iosys-map: Add per-word read
Instead of always falling back to memcpy_fromio() for any size, prefer using read{b,w,l}(). When reading struct members it's common to read individual integer variables individually. Going through memcpy_fromio() for each of them poses a high penalty. Employ a similar trick as __seqprop() by using _Generic() to generate only the specific call based on a type-compatible variable. For a pariticular i915 workload producing GPU context switches, __get_engine_usage_record() is particularly hot since the engine usage is read from device local memory with dgfx, possibly multiple times since it's racy. Test execution time for this test shows a ~12.5% improvement with DG2: Before: nrepeats = 1000; min = 7.63243e+06; max = 1.01817e+07; median = 9.52548e+06; var = 526149; After: nrepeats = 1000; min = 7.03402e+06; max = 8.8832e+06; median = 8.33955e+06; var = 333113; Other things attempted that didn't prove very useful: 1) Change the _Generic() on x86 to just dereference the memory address 2) Change __get_engine_usage_record() to do just 1 read per loop, comparing with the previous value read 3) Change __get_engine_usage_record() to access the fields directly as it was before the conversion to iosys-map (3) did gave a small improvement (~3%), but doesn't seem to scale well to other similar cases in the driver. Additional test by Chris Wilson using gem_create from igt with some changes to track object creation time. This happens to accidentally stress this code path: Pre iosys_map conversion of engine busyness: lmem0: Creating 262144 4KiB objects took 59274.2ms Unpatched: lmem0: Creating 262144 4KiB objects took 108830.2ms With readl (this patch): lmem0: Creating 262144 4KiB objects took 61348.6ms s/readl/READ_ONCE/ lmem0: Creating 262144 4KiB objects took 61333.2ms So we do take a little bit more time than before the conversion, but that is due to other factors: bringing the READ_ONCE back would be as good as just doing this conversion. v2: - Remove default from _Generic() - callers wanting to read more than u64 should use iosys_map_memcpy_from() - Add READ_ONCE() cases dereferencing the pointer when using system memory v3: - Fix precedence issue when casting inside READ_ONCE(). By not using () around vaddr__ the offset was not part of the cast, but rather added to it, producing a wrong address - Remove compiletime_assert() as READ_ONCE() already contains it Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> # v1 Reviewed-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220628191016.3899428-1-lucas.demarchi@intel.com
