[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 27/34] target-arm: emulate LL/SC using cmpxchg he


From: Richard Henderson
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 27/34] target-arm: emulate LL/SC using cmpxchg helpers
Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2016 13:39:55 -0700

From: "Emilio G. Cota" <address@hidden>

Emulating LL/SC with cmpxchg is not correct, since it can
suffer from the ABA problem. Portable parallel code, however,
is written assuming only cmpxchg--and not LL/SC--is available.
This means that in practice emulating LL/SC with cmpxchg is
a viable alternative.

The appended emulates LL/SC pairs in ARM with cmpxchg helpers.
This works in both user and system mode. In usermode, it avoids
pausing all other CPUs to perform the LL/SC pair. The subsequent
performance and scalability improvement is significant, as the
plots below show. They plot the throughput of atomic_add-bench
compiled for ARM and executed on a 64-core x86 machine.
