[PATCH 1/17] asm: simd context helper API

From: Herbert Xu
Date: Fri Mar 22 2019 - 02:30:58 EST


From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes it's useful to amortize calls to XSAVE/XRSTOR and the related
FPU/SIMD functions over a number of calls, because FPU restoration is
quite expensive. This adds a simple header for carrying out this pattern:

simd_context_t simd_context;

simd_get(&simd_context);
while ((item = get_item_from_queue()) != NULL) {
encrypt_item(item, &simd_context);
simd_relax(&simd_context);
}
simd_put(&simd_context);

The relaxation step ensures that we don't trample over preemption, and
the get/put API should be a familiar paradigm in the kernel.

On the other end, code that actually wants to use SIMD instructions can
accept this as a parameter and check it via:

void encrypt_item(struct item *item, simd_context_t *simd_context)
{
if (item->len > LARGE_FOR_SIMD && simd_use(simd_context))
wild_simd_code(item);
else
boring_scalar_code(item);
}

The actual XSAVE happens during simd_use (and only on the first time),
so that if the context is never actually used, no performance penalty is
hit.
