arm64: implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info
Historically, arm64 implemented raw_smp_processor_id() as a read of current_thread_info()->cpu. This changed when arm64 moved thread_info into task struct, as at the time CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK made core code use thread_struct::cpu for the cpu number, and due to header dependencies prevented using this in raw_smp_processor_id(). As a workaround, we moved to using a percpu variable in commit: 57c82954 ("arm64: make cpu number a percpu variable") Since then, thread_info::cpu was reintroduced, and core code was made to use this in commits: 001430c1 ("arm64: add CPU field to struct thread_info") bcf9033e ("sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y") Consequently it is possible to use current_thread_info()->cpu again. This decreases the number of emitted instructions like in the following example: Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id: 0xffff8000802cd608 <+0>: nop 0xffff8000802cd60c <+4>: nop 0xffff8000802cd610 <+8>: adrp x0, 0xffff800082138000 0xffff8000802cd614 <+12>: mrs x1, tpidr_el1 0xffff8000802cd618 <+16>: add x0, x0, #0x8 0xffff8000802cd61c <+20>: ldrsw x0, [x0, x1] 0xffff8000802cd620 <+24>: ret After this patch: Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id: 0xffff8000802c9130 <+0>: nop 0xffff8000802c9134 <+4>: nop 0xffff8000802c9138 <+8>: mrs x0, sp_el0 0xffff8000802c913c <+12>: ldr w0, [x0, #24] 0xffff8000802c9140 <+16>: ret A microbenchmark[1] was built to measure the performance improvement provided by this change. It calls the following function given number of times and finds the runtime overhead: static noinline int get_cpu_id(void) { return smp_processor_id(); } Run the benchmark like: modprobe smp_processor_id nr_function_calls=1000000000 +--------------------------+------------------------+ | | Number of Calls | Time taken | +--------+-----------------+------------------------+ | Before | 1000000000 | 1602888401ns | +--------+-----------------+------------------------+ | After | 1000000000 | 1206212658ns | +--------+-----------------+------------------------+ | Difference (decrease) | 396675743ns (24.74%) | +---------------------------------------------------+ Remove the percpu variable cpu_number as it is used only in set_smp_ipi_range() as a dummy variable to be passed to ipi_handler(). Use irq_stat in place of cpu_number here like arm32.
