perf bench: Rename 'mem-memcpy.c' => 'mem-functions.c'

2015-10-19T18:39:39+00:00

So mem-memcpy.c started out as a simple memcpy() benchmark, then it grew memset() functionality and now I plan to add string copy benchmarks as well. This makes the file name a misnomer: rename it to the more generic mem-functions.c name.

perf bench: Default to all routines in 'perf bench mem'

2015-10-19T18:05:34+00:00

So few people know that the --routine option to 'perf bench memcpy/memset' exists, and would not know that it's capable of testing the kernel's memcpy/memset implementations. Furthermore, 'perf bench mem all' will not run all routines: vega:~> perf bench mem all # Running mem/memcpy benchmark... Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 894.454383 MB/Sec 3.844734 GB/Sec (with prefault) # Running mem/memset benchmark... Routine default (Default memset() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.220703 GB/Sec 9.042245 GB/Sec (with prefault) Because misleadingly the 'all' refers to 'all sub-benchmarks', not 'all sub-benchmarks and routines'. Fix all this by making the memcpy/memset routine to default to 'all', which results in all the benchmarks being run: triton:~> perf bench mem all # Running mem/memcpy benchmark... Routine default (Default memcpy() provided by glibc) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.448906 GB/Sec 4.957170 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-unrolled (unrolled memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.614153 GB/Sec 4.379204 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-movsq (movsq-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.570036 GB/Sec 4.264465 GB/Sec (with prefault) Routine x86-64-movsb (movsb-based memcpy() in arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S) # Copying 1MB Bytes ... 1.788576 GB/Sec 6.554111 GB/Sec (with prefault) # Running mem/memset benchmark...

Merge tag 'alternatives_padding' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/asm

2015-03-04T05:36:15+00:00

Pull alternative instructions framework improvements from Borislav Petkov: "A more involved rework of the alternatives framework to be able to pad instructions and thus make using the alternatives macros more straightforward and without having to figure out old and new instruction sizes but have the toolchain figure that out for us. Furthermore, it optimizes JMPs used so that fetch and decode can be relieved with smaller versions of the JMPs, where possible. Some stats: x86_64 defconfig: Alternatives sites total: 2478 Total padding added (in Bytes): 6051 The padding is currently done for: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS X86_FEATURE_ERMS X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC X86_FEATURE_SMAP This is with the latest version of the patchset. Of course, on each machine the alternatives sites actually being patched are a proper subset of the total number." Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf bench: Fix order of arguments to memcpy_alloc_mem

2015-02-23T02:10:56+00:00

This was causing the destination instead of the source to be filled. As a result, the source was typically all mapped to one zero page, and hence very cacheable.

perf bench: Fix memcpy/memset output

2014-12-09T12:14:08+00:00

The memcpy and memset benchmarks return bogus results when iterations > 0 because the iterations value is not taken into account when calculating the final result: $ perf bench mem memset --only-prefault --length 1GB --iterations 1 # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark: # Copying 1GB Bytes ... 20.798669 GB/Sec (with prefault) $ perf bench mem memset --only-prefault --length 1GB --iterations 10 # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark: # Copying 1GB Bytes ... 2.086576 GB/Sec (with prefault) $ perf bench mem memset --only-prefault --length 1GB --iterations 100 # Running 'mem/memset' benchmark: # Copying 1GB Bytes ... 212.840917 MB/Sec (with prefault) Fix this.
