x86: Add performance variants of cpumask operators
* Increase performance for systems with large count NR_CPUS by limiting the range of the cpumask operators that loop over the bits in a cpumask_t variable. This removes a large amount of wasted cpu cycles. * Add performance variants of the cpumask operators: int cpus_weight_nr(mask) Same using nr_cpu_ids instead of NR_CPUS int first_cpu_nr(mask) Number lowest set bit, or nr_cpu_ids int next_cpu_nr(cpu, mask) Next cpu past 'cpu', or nr_cpu_ids for_each_cpu_mask_nr(cpu, mask) for-loop cpu over mask using nr_cpu_ids * Modify following to use performance variants: #define num_online_cpus() cpus_weight_nr(cpu_online_map) #define num_possible_cpus() cpus_weight_nr(cpu_possible_map) #define num_present_cpus() cpus_weight_nr(cpu_present_map) #define for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...) #define for_each_online_cpu(cpu) for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...) #define for_each_present_cpu(cpu) for_each_cpu_mask_nr((cpu), ...) * Comment added to include/linux/cpumask.h: Note: The alternate operations with the suffix "_nr" are used to limit the range of the loop to nr_cpu_ids instead of NR_CPUS when NR_CPUS > 64 for performance reasons. If NR_CPUS is <= 64 then most assembler bitmask operators execute faster with a constant range, so the operator will continue to use NR_CPUS. Another consideration is that nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS and isn't lowered until the possible cpus are discovered (including any disabled cpus). So early uses will span the entire range of NR_CPUS. (The net effect is that for systems with 64 or less CPU's there are no functional changes.) For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.
