locking: Optimize lock_bh functions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently all _bh_ lock functions do two preempt_count operations:

  local_bh_disable();
  preempt_disable();

and for the unlock:

  preempt_enable_no_resched();
  local_bh_enable();

Since its a waste of perfectly good cycles to modify the same variable
twice when you can do it in one go; use the new
__local_bh_{dis,en}able_ip() functions that allow us to provide a
preempt_count value to add/sub.

So define SOFTIRQ_LOCK_OFFSET as the offset a _bh_ lock needs to
add/sub to be done in one go.

As a bonus it gets rid of the preempt_enable_no_resched() usage.

This reduces a 1000 loops of:

  spin_lock_bh(&bh_lock);
  spin_unlock_bh(&bh_lock);

from 53596 cycles to 51995 cycles. I didn't do enough measurements to
say for absolute sure that the result is significant but the the few
runs I did for each suggest it is so.
