Subject[PATCH v2 13/13] perf/hw_breakpoint: Optimize toggle_bp_slot() for CPU-independent task targets
From
We can still see that a majority of the time is spent hashing task pointers:

...
16.98% [kernel] [k] rhashtable_jhash2
...

Doing the bookkeeping in toggle_bp_slots() is currently O(#cpus),
calling task_bp_pinned() for each CPU, even if task_bp_pinned() is
CPU-independent. The reason for this is to update the per-CPU
'tsk_pinned' histogram.

To optimize the CPU-independent case to O(1), keep a separate
CPU-independent 'tsk_pinned_all' histogram.

The major source of complexity are transitions between "all
CPU-independent task breakpoints" and "mixed CPU-independent and
CPU-dependent task breakpoints". The code comments list all cases that
require handling.

After this optimization:

| $> perf bench -r 100 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 128 -t 512
| Total time: 1.758 [sec]
|
| 34.336621 usecs/op
| 4395.087500 usecs/op/cpu

38.08% [kernel] [k] queued_spin_lock_slowpath
10.81% [kernel] [k] smp_cfm_core_cond
3.01% [kernel] [k] update_sg_lb_stats
2.58% [kernel] [k] osq_lock
2.57% [kernel] [k] llist_reverse_order
1.45% [kernel] [k] find_next_bit
1.21% [kernel] [k] flush_tlb_func_common
1.01% [kernel] [k] arch_install_hw_breakpoint

Showing that the time spent hashing keys has become insignificant.

With the given benchmark parameters, that's an improvement of 12%
compared with the old O(#cpus) version.

And finally, using the less aggressive parameters from the preceding
changes, we now observe:

| $> perf bench -r 30 breakpoint thread -b 4 -p 64 -t 64
| Total time: 0.067 [sec]
|
| 35.292187 usecs/op
| 2258.700000 usecs/op/cpu

Which is an improvement of 12% compared to without the histogram
optimizations (baseline is 40 usecs/op). This is now on par with the
theoretical ideal (constraints disabled), and only 12% slower than no
breakpoints at all.
