We try to avoid using cpu_loop_exit_atomic as it brings in an all-core
sync point. However on some cpu/kernel/benchmark combinations it is
starting to show up in the performance profile. To make it easier to
see whats going on add tracepoints for the slow path so we can see
what is triggering the wait.
It seems for a modern CPU it can be quite a bit, for example:
./qemu-system-aarch64 \
-machine type=virt,virtualization=on,pflash0=rom,pflash1=efivars,gic-version=max \
-smp 4 \
-accel tcg \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=unet \
-device virtio-scsi-pci \
-device scsi-hd,drive=hd \
-netdev user,id=unet,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
-blockdev driver=raw,node-name=hd,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/zen-ssd2/trixie-arm64,discard=unmap \
-serial mon:stdio \
-blockdev node-name=rom,driver=file,filename=(pwd)/pc-bios/edk2-aarch64-code.fd,read-only=true \
-blockdev node-name=efivars,driver=file,filename=$HOME/images/qemu-arm64-efivars \
-m 8192 \
-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=8G,share=on \
-kernel /home/alex/lsrc/linux.git/builds/arm64/arch/arm64/boot/Image -append "root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyAMA0 systemd.unit=benchmark-stress-ng.service" \
-display none -d trace:load_atom\*_fallback,trace:store_atom\*_fallback
With:
-cpu neoverse-v1,pauth-impdef=on => 2203343
With:
-cpu cortex-a76 => 0

Commit e50caf4a5c ("tracing: convert documentation to rST")
converted docs/devel/tracing.txt to docs/devel/tracing.rst.
We still have several references to the old file, so let's fix them
with the following command:
sed -i s/tracing.txt/tracing.rst/ $(git grep -l docs/devel/tracing.txt)

Add two helper functions, using a global variable to hold
the displacement. The displacement is currently always 0,
so no change in behaviour.
Begin using the functions in tcg common code only.

The only exception are groups of numers separated by symbols
'.', ' ', ':', '/', like 'ab.09.7d'.
This patch is made by the following:
> find . -name trace-events | xargs python script.py
where script.py is the following python script:
=========================
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import re
import fileinput
rhex = '%[-+ *.0-9]*(?:[hljztL]|ll|hh)?(?:x|X|"\s*PRI[xX][^"]*"?)'
rgroup = re.compile('((?:' + rhex + '[.:/ ])+' + rhex + ')')
rbad = re.compile('(?<!0x)' + rhex)
files = sys.argv[1:]
for fname in files:
for line in fileinput.input(fname, inplace=True):
arr = re.split(rgroup, line)
for i in range(0, len(arr), 2):
arr[i] = re.sub(rbad, '0x\g<0>', arr[i])
sys.stdout.write(''.join(arr))
