This happens because the function prototype of tp_sub_func doesn't match
the prototype of the tracepoint function. As each tracepoint may have a
distinct prototype, it's not possible to share a common stub function.
Avoid this by comparing the tracepoint function pointer to the value 1
before calling each function.
Prior to this change, it_func_ptr->func was loaded twice per loop
iteration:
it_func = READ_ONCE((it_func_ptr)->func);
[...]
} while ((++it_func_ptr)->func);
With this change, the loaded it_func is used for comparisons with 0 (end
of loop), 1 (skip) and as a function pointer, thus saving a load per
loop.
The comparison with <= TRACEPOINT_FUNC_SKIP is done on purpose to branch
over both comparisons with 0 and 1 with a single branch for each loop
and an extra conditional branch on the last loop to compare with 0.
A simplified example of this compiled on godbolt.org:
#include <stdint.h>
typedef void (*f_t)(void);
volatile f_t *arr;
void fct(void)
{
volatile f_t *iter = &arr[0];
for (;;) {
f_t l_iter = *iter;
if (((uintptr_t)l_iter <= 0x1)) {
if ((uintptr_t)l_iter == 0x1)
continue;
else
break;
}
l_iter();
iter++;
}
}
Generates:
x86-64 gcc 12.2 -O2:
fct:
push rbx
mov rbx, QWORD PTR arr[rip]
.L29:
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbx]
cmp rax, 1
jbe .L38
.L30:
call rax
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbx+8]
add rbx, 8
cmp rax, 1
ja .L30
.L38:
je .L29
pop rbx
ret
clang 16.0.0 -O2:
fct: # @fct
push rbx
mov rbx, qword ptr [rip + arr]
.LBB0_1: # =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
mov rax, qword ptr [rbx]
cmp rax, 1
ja .LBB0_4
je .LBB0_1
jmp .LBB0_3
.LBB0_4: # in Loop: Header=BB0_1 Depth=1
call rax
add rbx, 8
jmp .LBB0_1
.LBB0_3:
pop rbx
ret
arr:
.quad 0
On x86, the result of the "cmp" instruction is used to conditionally
branch based on both inequality (jbe, ja) and equality (je), thus
keeping the code size small and limiting the number of instructions to
execute on this tracepoint instrumentation fast path.

It appears there was a typo in this Tested-by address from Mark. Steven,
should I resend or can you correct this as you pick it up ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
