Subject: [RFC PATCH] eal/riscv: add support for zawrs extension
Date: Thu,  2 May 2024 15:41:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240502144149.66446-1-daniel.gregory@bytedance.com> (raw)

The zawrs extension adds a pair of instructions that stall a core until
a memory location is written to. This patch uses one of them to
implement RISCV-specific versions of the rte_wait_until_equal_*
functions. This is potentially more energy efficient than the default
implementation that uses rte_pause/Zihintpause.

The technique works as follows:

* Create a reservation set containing the address we want to wait on
  using an atomic load (lr.dw)
* Call wrs.nto - this blocks until the reservation set is invalidated by
  someone else writing to that address
* Execution can also resume arbitrarily, so we still need to check
  whether a change occurred and loop if not

Due to RISC-V atomics only supporting naturally aligned word (32 bit)
and double word (64 bit) loads, I've used pointer rounding and bit
shifting to implement waiting on 16-bit values.

This new functionality is controlled by a Meson flag that is disabled by
default.

Posting as an RFC to get early feedback and enable testing by others
with Zawrs-enabled hardware. Whilst I have been able to test it compiles
& passes tests using QEMU, I am waiting on some Zawrs-enabled hardware
to become available before I carry out performance tests.

Nonetheless, I would be glad to hear any feedback on the general
approach. Thanks, Daniel
