The goal of this module is to profile synchronization primitives (i.e.
mutexes, recursive mutexes and condition variables) so that scalability
issues can be quickly diagnosed.
Sync primitives are profiled by QSP based on the vaddr of the object accessed
as well as the call site (file:line_nr). That means the same object called
from two different call sites will be tracked in separate entries, which
might be reported together or separately (see subsequent commit on
call site coalescing).
Some perf numbers:
Host: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz
Command: taskset -c 0 tests/atomic_add-bench -d 5 -m
- Before: 54.80 Mops/s
- After: 54.75 Mops/s
That is, a negligible slowdown due to the now indirect call to
qemu_mutex_lock. Note that using a branch instead of an indirect
call introduces a more severe slowdown (53.65 Mops/s, i.e. 2% slowdown).
Enabling the profiler (with -p, added in this series) is more interesting:
- No profiling: 54.75 Mops/s
- W/ profiling: 12.53 Mops/s
That is, a 4.36X slowdown.
We can break down this slowdown by removing the get_clock calls or
the entry lookup:
- No profiling: 54.75 Mops/s
- W/o get_clock: 25.37 Mops/s
- W/o entry lookup: 19.30 Mops/s
- W/ profiling: 12.53 Mops/s

The meaning of "existing" is now changed to "matches in hash and
ht->cmp result". This is saner than just checking the pointer value.

qht_lookup now uses the default cmp function. qht_lookup_custom is defined
to retain the old behaviour, that is a cmp function is explicitly provided.
qht_insert will gain use of the default cmp in the next patch.
Note that we move qht_lookup_custom's @func to be the last argument,
which makes the new qht_lookup as simple as possible.
Instead of this (i.e. keeping @func 2nd):
0000000000010750 <qht_lookup>:
10750: 89 d1 mov %edx,%ecx
10752: 48 89 f2 mov %rsi,%rdx
10755: 48 8b 77 08 mov 0x8(%rdi),%rsi
10759: e9 22 ff ff ff jmpq 10680 <qht_lookup_custom>
1075e: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
We get:
0000000000010740 <qht_lookup>:
10740: 48 8b 4f 08 mov 0x8(%rdi),%rcx
10744: e9 37 ff ff ff jmpq 10680 <qht_lookup_custom>
10749: 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)

It is naturally expected that some memory ordering should be provided
around qht_insert() and qht_lookup(). Document these assumptions in the
header file and put some comments in the source to denote how that
memory ordering requirements are fulfilled.

This is a fast, scalable chained hash table with optional auto-resizing, allowing
reads that are concurrent with reads, and reads/writes that are concurrent
with writes to separate buckets.
A hash table with these features will be necessary for the scalability
of the ongoing MTTCG work; before those changes arrive we can already
benefit from the single-threaded speedup that qht also provides.
