Modify __down_read_trylock() to optimize for an unlocked rwsem and make
it generate slightly better code.
Before this patch, down_read_trylock:

0x0000000000000005 <+5>: jmp 0x18 <down_read_trylock+24>

0x0000000000000034 <+52>: mov $0x1,%eax
0x0000000000000039 <+57>: retq
After patch, down_read_trylock:
0x0000000000000000 <+0>: callq 0x5 <down_read_trylock+5>
0x0000000000000005 <+5>: xor %eax,%eax
0x0000000000000007 <+7>: lea 0x1(%rax),%rdx
0x000000000000000b <+11>: lock cmpxchg %rdx,(%rdi)
0x0000000000000010 <+16>: jne 0x29 <down_read_trylock+41>
0x0000000000000012 <+18>: mov %gs:0x0,%rax
0x000000000000001b <+27>: or $0x3,%rax
0x000000000000001f <+31>: mov %rax,0x20(%rdi)
0x0000000000000023 <+35>: mov $0x1,%eax
0x0000000000000028 <+40>: retq
0x0000000000000029 <+41>: test %rax,%rax
0x000000000000002c <+44>: jns 0x7 <down_read_trylock+7>
0x000000000000002e <+46>: xor %eax,%eax
0x0000000000000030 <+48>: retq
By using a rwsem microbenchmark, the down_read_trylock() rate (with a
load of 10 to lengthen the lock critical section) on a x86-64 system
before and after the patch were:
Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads rlock rlock
------------ ----- -----
1 14,496 14,716
2 8,644 8,453
4 6,799 6,983
8 5,664 7,190
On a ARM64 system, the performance results were:
Before Patch After Patch
# of Threads rlock rlock
------------ ----- -----
1 23,676 24,488
2 7,697 9,502
4 4,945 3,440
8 2,641 1,603
For the uncontended case (1 thread), the new down_read_trylock() is a
little bit faster. For the contended cases, the new down_read_trylock()
perform pretty well in x86-64, but performance degrades at high
contention level on ARM64.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
