[RFC PATCH v4 2/5] glibc: sched_getcpu(): use rseq cpu_id TLS on Linux

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Wed Nov 21 2018 - 13:39:53 EST


When available, use the cpu_id field from __rseq_abi on Linux to
implement sched_getcpu(). Fall-back on the vgetcpu vDSO if unavailable.

Benchmarks:

x86-64: Intel E5-2630 v3@xxxxxxx, 16-core, hyperthreading

glibc sched_getcpu(): 13.7 ns (baseline)
glibc sched_getcpu() using rseq: 2.5 ns (speedup: 5.5x)
inline load cpuid from __rseq_abi TLS: 0.8 ns (speedup: 17.1x)
