From 37a8f7c38339b22b69876d6f5a0ab851565284e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2018 10:38:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm: Move 'status' from thread_struct to thread_info The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve cache locality. The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info. Linus suggested further changing: ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED); to: if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED))) ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED); on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this patch.
