* powerpc: Optimize lock elision for pthread_mutex_tPaul Murphy2015-10-151-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With TLE enabled, the adapt count variable update incurs an 8% overhead before entering the critical section of an elided mutex. Instead, if it is done right after leaving the critical section, this serialization can be avoided. This alters the existing behavior of __lll_trylock_elision as it will only decrement the adapt_count if it successfully acquires the lock. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-lock.c (__lll_lock_elision): Remove adapt_count decrement... * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-trylock.c (__lll_trylock_elision): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-unlock.c (__lll_unlock_elision): ... to here. And utilize new adapt_count parameter. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/lowlevellock.h (__lll_unlock_elision): Update to include adapt_count parameter. (lll_unlock_elision): Pass pointer to adapt_count variable.

* powerpc: Add the lock elision using HTMAdhemerval Zanella2015-01-121-0/+32
This patch adds support for lock elision using ISA 2.07 hardware transactional memory instructions for pthread_mutex primitives. Similar to s390 version, the for elision logic defined in 'force-elision.h' is only enabled if ENABLE_LOCK_ELISION is defined. Also, the lock elision code should be able to be built even with a compiler that does not provide HTM support with builtins. However I have noted the performance is sub-optimal due scheduling pressures.
