Subject: How to calculate instruction executed for function
Hello,
How to calculate instruction executed for function ?
For eg.
I need to calculate instruction executed for CMA_ALLOC function.
How many instruction executed for cma_alloc ?
CMA_ALLOC :
for 1 cma_alloc success call there will around 75 instruction is
executed, excluding jump, mutex,error case and debug info instruction.
below are mandatory jump calls that are required for successful
allocations.
cma_bitmap_aligned_mask
cma_bitmap_aligned_offset
cma_bitmap_maxno
cma_bitmap_pages_to_bits
bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off -> find_next_zero_bit -> find_next_bit
bitmap_set
alloc_contig_range -> start_isolate_page_range
__alloc_contig_migrate_range -> isolate_migratepages_range ->
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list -> shrink_page_list -> migrate_pages
So lets say
cma_bitmap_aligned_mask = 1 instrs
cma_bitmap_aligned_offset = 1 instrs
cma_bitmap_maxno = 1 instrs
cma_bitmap_pages_to_bits = 1 instrs
bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off -> find_next_zero_bit -> find_next_bit =
3 instrs
bitmap_set = 1 instrs
alloc_contig_range -> start_isolate_page_range =
has_unmovable_pages = 1 instrs
get_pfnblock_flags_mask = 1 instrs
set_pageblock_migratetype = 1 instrs
move_freepages_block = 1 instrn
__mod_zone_page_state = 1 instrs store info in
vmstat
unset_migratetype_isolate = 1 instrs
__alloc_contig_migrate_range -> isolate_migratepages_range ->
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list -> shrink_page_list -> migrate_pages
isolate_migratepages_range = 3 instrs
reclaim_clean_pages_from_list = 2 instrs
migrate_pages = 1 instrs
--------------------------------------------------------------
Total = around 20 instrs per page
20 ns per page on 1ghz processor is minimum excluding any overheads
like mutex, variables, failure/error case,debug/prints.
I roughly calculated this.
Is it Correct ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Pankaj
