[patch][rfc] x86, mutex: non-atomic unlock (and a rant)

[Nick Piggin]

Hi,

Chasing performance regressions, as usual (and not of the nice patch X
caused a n% slowdown type, but n% slowdown between a couple of years of
kernel releases, with few or no patches causing something above the
noise).

Unfortunately, our biggest competitors are our previous kernels, and
we (were?) really good at writing really fast kernels. And most of our
users who are running the competition are completely satisfied with
all the features it has[*], so an "upgrade" that causes a slowdown does
not go down well. A feature that 0.01% of people might use but causes
a 0.1% slowdown for everyone else... may not actually be a good idea.
Performance is a feature too, and every time we do this, we trade off
a little bit of that for things most people don't need.

[*] modulo hardware support perhaps

Anyway, end rant. Not much gets achieved by ranting, and seeing as I
can't just magic away overhead-causing features, then I've just been
looking for places to cut costs. So...

Non-atomic unlock for mutexs maybe? I do this by relying on cache
coherence on a cacheline basis for ordering rather than the memory
consistency of the x86. Linus I know you've told me this is an incorrect
assumption in the past, but I'm not so sure. If it is worthwhile, then
maybe we can ask the HW guys if we're allowed to do this? There are
actually other places where we could do similar tricks to avoid heavy
barriers...

In lmbench style syscall microbenchmarks I'm running, it is hard to
see much significant difference on a core2 with single threaded tests.
I'd say it could be very slightly favourable.

I also got rid of the more clever calling sequence when I was tinkering
with this patch which maybe could be added back in, although I didn't
like how it generated a short forward cond jump on success (to jump over
the fail_fn call).
