* Linux 4.14, 4.19, 5.0+ compat: SIMD save/restoreBrian Behlendorf2019-10-241-39/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Contrary to initial testing we cannot rely on these kernels to invalidate the per-cpu FPU state and restore the FPU registers. Nor can we guarantee that the kernel won't modify the FPU state which we saved in the task struck. Therefore, the kfpu_begin() and kfpu_end() functions have been updated to save and restore the FPU state using our own dedicated per-cpu FPU state variables. This has the additional advantage of allowing us to use the FPU again in user threads. So we remove the code which was added to use task queues to ensure some functions ran in kernel threads.

* Perform KABI checks in parallelBrian Behlendorf2019-10-011-37/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled or not. By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k) option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled. Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file. Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process. New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases but it's use is not encouraged. master (secs) patched (secs) ------------- ---------------- autogen.sh 61 68 configure 137 24 (~17% of current run time) make -j $(nproc) 44 44 make rpms 287 150 Reviewed-by: Tony Hutter <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #8547 Closes #9132 Closes #9341

* Linux 5.0 compat: SIMD compatibilityBrian Behlendorf2019-07-121-5/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restore the SIMD optimization for 4.19.38 LTS, 4.14.120 LTS, and 5.0 and newer kernels. This is accomplished by leveraging the fact that by definition dedicated kernel threads never need to concern themselves with saving and restoring the user FPU state. Therefore, they may use the FPU as long as we can guarantee user tasks always restore their FPU state before context switching back to user space. For the 5.0 and 5.1 kernels disabling preemption and local interrupts is sufficient to allow the FPU to be used. All non-kernel threads will restore the preserved user FPU state. For 5.2 and latter kernels the user FPU state restoration will be skipped if the kernel determines the registers have not changed. Therefore, for these kernels we need to perform the additional step of saving and restoring the FPU registers. Invalidating the per-cpu global tracking the FPU state would force a restore but that functionality is private to the core x86 FPU implementation and unavailable. In practice, restricting SIMD to kernel threads is not a major restriction for ZFS. The vast majority of SIMD operations are already performed by the IO pipeline. The remaining cases are relatively infrequent and can be handled by the generic code without significant impact. The two most noteworthy cases are: 1) Decrypting the wrapping key for an encrypted dataset, i.e. `zfs load-key`. All other encryption and decryption operations will use the SIMD optimized implementations. 2) Generating the payload checksums for a `zfs send` stream. In order to avoid making any changes to the higher layers of ZFS all of the `*_get_ops()` functions were updated to take in to consideration the calling context. This allows for the fastest implementation to be used as appropriate (see kfpu_allowed()). The only other notable instance of SIMD operations being used outside a kernel thread was at module load time. This code was moved in to a taskq in order to accommodate the new kernel thread restriction. Finally, a few other modifications were made in order to further harden this code and facilitate testing. They include updating each implementations operations structure to be declared as a constant. And allowing "cycle" to be set when selecting the preferred ops in the kernel as well as user space.

* kernel_fpu fixesTony Hutter2019-03-061-5/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a few issues when detecting which kernel_fpu functions are available. - Use kernel_fpu_begin() if it's exported on newer kernels. - Use ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE_SYMBOL() to choose the right kernel_fpu function when using --enable-linux-builtin.

* Support for vectorized algorithms on x86Gvozden Neskovic2016-03-211-0/+18
This is initial support for x86 vectorized implementations of ZFS parity and checksum algorithms. For the compilation phase, configure step checks if toolchain supports relevant instruction sets. Each implementation must ensure that the code is not passed to compiler if relevant instruction set is not supported. For this purpose, following new defines are provided if instruction set is supported: - HAVE_SSE, - HAVE_SSE2, - HAVE_SSE3, - HAVE_SSSE3, - HAVE_SSE4_1, - HAVE_SSE4_2, - HAVE_AVX, - HAVE_AVX2. For detecting if an instruction set can be used in runtime, following functions are provided in (include/linux/simd_x86.h): - zfs_sse_available() - zfs_sse2_available() - zfs_sse3_available() - zfs_ssse3_available() - zfs_sse4_1_available() - zfs_sse4_2_available() - zfs_avx_available() - zfs_avx2_available() - zfs_bmi1_available() - zfs_bmi2_available() These function should be called once, on module load, or initialization. They are safe to use from user and kernel space. If an implementation is using more than single instruction set, both compiler and runtime support for all relevant instruction sets should be checked. Kernel fpu methods: - kfpu_begin() - kfpu_end() Use __get_cpuid_max and __cpuid_count from <cpuid.h> Both gcc and clang have support for these. They also handle ebx register in case it is used for PIC code.
