tb hash: track translated blocks with qht Having a fixed-size hash table for keeping track of all translation blocks is suboptimal: some workloads are just too big or too small to get maximum performance from the hash table. The MRU promotion policy helps improve performance when the hash table is a little undersized, but it cannot make up for severely undersized hash tables. Furthermore, frequent MRU promotions result in writes that are a scalability bottleneck. For scalability, lookups should only perform reads, not writes. This is not a big deal for now, but it will become one once MTTCG matures. The appended fixes these issues by using qht as the implementation of the TB hash table. This solution is superior to other alternatives considered, namely: - master: implementation in QEMU before this patchset - xxhash: before this patch, i.e. fixed buckets + xxhash hashing + MRU. - xxhash-rcu: fixed buckets + xxhash + RCU list + MRU. MRU is implemented here by adding an intermediate struct that contains the u32 hash and a pointer to the TB; this allows us, on an MRU promotion, to copy said struct (that is not at the head), and put this new copy at the head. After a grace period, the original non-head struct can be eliminated, and after another grace period, freed. - qht-fixed-nomru: fixed buckets + xxhash + qht without auto-resize + no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts. The appended solution is the following: - qht-dyn-nomru: dynamic number of buckets + xxhash + qht w/ auto-resize + no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts. The plots below compare the considered solutions. The Y axis shows the boot time (in seconds) of a debian jessie image with arm-softmmu; the X axis sweeps the number of buckets (or initial number of buckets for qht-autoresize). The plots in PNG format (and with errorbars) can be seen here: http://imgur.com/a/Awgnq Each test runs 5 times, and the entire QEMU process is pinned to a single core for repeatability of results.

An alternative would be do consider failed lookups as "maybe not there", and then acquire the external lock (tb_lock in this case) to really confirm that there was indeed a failed lookup. This, however, would not be enough to implement dynamic resizing--this is more complex: see "Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Tables via Relativistic Programming" by Triplett, McKenney and Walpole. This solution was discarded due to the very coarse RCU read critical sections that we have in MTTCG; resizing requires waiting for readers after every pointer update, and resizes require many pointer updates, so this would quickly become prohibitive. qht-fixed-nomru shows that MRU promotion is advisable for undersized hash tables. However, qht-dyn-mru shows that MRU promotion is not important if the hash table is properly sized: there is virtually no difference in performance between qht-dyn-nomru and qht-dyn-mru. Before this patch, we're at X=15 on "xxhash"; after this patch, we're at X=15 @ qht-dyn-nomru. This patch thus matches the best performance that we can achieve with optimum sizing of the hash table, while keeping the hash table scalable for readers. The improvement we get before and after this patch for booting debian jessie with arm-softmmu is: - Intel Xeon E5-2690: 10.5% less time - Intel i7-4790K: 5.2% less time We could get this same improvement _for this particular workload_ by statically increasing the size of the hash table. But this would hurt workloads that do not need a large hash table. The dynamic (upward) resizing allows us to start small and enlarge the hash table as needed. A quick note on downsizing: the table is resized back to 2**15 buckets on every tb_flush; this makes sense because it is not guaranteed that the table will reach the same number of TBs later on (e.g. most bootup code is thrown away after boot); it makes sense to grow the hash table as more code blocks are translated. This also avoids the complication of having to build downsizing hysteresis logic into qht.

struct TBContext {
translate-all: use a binary search tree to track TBs in TBContext This is a prerequisite for supporting multiple TCG contexts, since we will have threads generating code in separate regions of code_gen_buffer. For this we need a new field (.size) in struct tb_tc to keep track of the size of the translated code. This field uses a size_t to avoid adding a hole to the struct, although really an unsigned int would have been enough. 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. The next patch in this series renames tb_free to tb_remove to reflect this. 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: Performance counter stats for 'build/arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm \ -machine type=virt -nographic -smp 1 -m 4096 \ -netdev user,id=unet,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \ -device virtio-net-device,netdev=unet \ -drive file=img/arm/jessie-arm32.qcow2,id=myblock,index=0,if=none \ -device virtio-blk-device,drive=myblock \ -kernel img/arm/aarch32-current-linux-kernel-only.img \ -append console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda1 \ -name arm,debug-threads=on -smp 1' (10 runs): - Before: 8048.598422 task-clock (msec) # 0.931 CPUs utilized ( +- 0.28% ) 16,974 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 0.12% ) 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 10,125 page-faults # 0.001 M/sec ( +- 1.23% ) 35,144,901,879 cycles # 4.367 GHz ( +- 0.14% ) <not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 65,758,252,643 instructions # 1.87 insns per cycle ( +- 0.33% ) 10,871,298,668 branches # 1350.707 M/sec ( +- 0.41% ) 192,322,212 branch-misses # 1.77% of all branches ( +- 0.32% ) 8.640869419 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.57% ) - After: 8146.242027 task-clock (msec) # 0.923 CPUs utilized ( +- 1.23% ) 17,016 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 0.40% ) 0 cpu-migrations # 0.000 K/sec 18,769 page-faults # 0.002 M/sec ( +- 0.45% ) 35,660,956,120 cycles # 4.378 GHz ( +- 1.22% ) <not supported> stalled-cycles-frontend <not supported> stalled-cycles-backend 65,095,366,607 instructions # 1.83 insns per cycle ( +- 1.73% ) 10,803,480,261 branches # 1326.192 M/sec ( +- 1.95% ) 195,601,289 branch-misses # 1.81% of all branches ( +- 0.39% ) 8.828660235 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% ) Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Signed-off-by: Emilio G.
