[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 11/22] translate-all: use a binary search tree to tr


From: Emilio G. Cota
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 11/22] translate-all: use a binary search tree to track TBs in TBContext
Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2017 03:50:03 -0400

This is a prerequisite for having threads generate code on separate
buffers, which will help scalability when booting multiple cores
under MTTCG.

For this we need a new field (.tc_size) in TranslationBlock to keep
track of the size of the translated code. This field is added into
a 4-byte hole that the previous commit created.

In order to use glib's binary search tree we embed a helper struct
in TranslationBlock to allow us to compare tb's based on their
tc_ptr as well as their tc_size fields. We use an anonymous struct
in TranslationBlock to minimize churn; the alternatives I can
see are to (a) just add a comment and cross our fingers, (b) use
-fms-extensions, and (c) embed the struct and update all calling
code. I think using an anonymous struct is superior, but I can be
persuaded otherwise.

The comparison function we use is optimized for the common case:
insertions. Profiling shows that upon booting debian-arm, 98%
of comparisons are between existing tb's (i.e. a->size and b->size
are both !0), which happens during insertions (and removals, but
those are rare). The remaining cases are lookups. From reading the glib
sources we see that the first key is always the lookup key. However,
the code does not assume this to always be the case because this
behaviour is not guaranteed in the glib docs. However, we embed
this knowledge in the code as a branch hint for the compiler.

Note that tb_free does not free space in the code_gen_buffer anymore,
since we cannot easily know whether the tb is the last one inserted
in code_gen_buffer.

Performance-wise, lookups in tb_find_pc are the same as before:
O(log n). However, insertions are O(log n) instead of O(1), which
results in a small slowdown when booting debian-arm:
