seqlock: annotate spinning as unlikely() in __read_seqcount_begin
Annotation already used to be there, but got lost in 52ac39e5db5148f7 ("seqlock: seqcount_t: Implement all read APIs as statement expressions"). Does not look like it was intentional. Without it gcc 12 decides to compile the following in path_init: nd->m_seq = __read_seqcount_begin(&mount_lock.seqcount); nd->r_seq = __read_seqcount_begin(&rename_lock.seqcount); into 2 cases of conditional jumps forward if the value is even, aka branch prediction miss by default in the common case on x86-64. With the patch jumps are only for odd values. before: [snip] mov 0x104fe96(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409680 <mount_lock> test $0x1,%al je 0xffffffff813b97fa <path_init+122> pause mov 0x104fe8a(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409680 <mount_lock> test $0x1,%al jne 0xffffffff813b97ee <path_init+110> mov %eax,0x48(%rbx) mov 0x104fdfd(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409600 <rename_lock> test $0x1,%al je 0xffffffff813b9813 <path_init+147> pause mov 0x104fdf1(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409600 <rename_lock> test $0x1,%al jne 0xffffffff813b9807 <path_init+135> [/snip] after: [snip] mov 0x104fec6(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409680 <mount_lock> test $0x1,%al jne 0xffffffff813b99af <path_init+607> mov %eax,0x48(%rbx) mov 0x104fe35(%rip),%eax # 0xffffffff82409600 <rename_lock> test $0x1,%al jne 0xffffffff813b999d <path_init+589> [/snip] Interestingly .text gets slightly smaller (as reported by size(1)): before: 20702563 after: 20702429 Signed-off-by: Mateusz Guzik <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <[email protected]>
