New Comment:
It seems silly that this would make a difference. I guess make the
change in trunk. Can't do it in the branches because it would break
binary compatibility.

Description:
------------
When compiled for multi-threaded (#ifdef ZTS ) operation, the various
subsystems in PHP use dynamically allocated (ts_allocate_id)
identifiers to index into the thread-local storage for each subsystem.
These dynamically allocated ids are used by macros such as CG, EG, PG,
AG.
The TSRMG macro is defined as:
#define TSRMG(id, type, element) (((type) (*((void ***)
tsrm_ls))[TSRM_UNSHUFFLE_RSRC_ID(id)])->element)
The PG macro is defined as:
# define PG(v) TSRMG(core_globals_id, php_core_globals *, v)
where core_globals_id is
extern PHPAPI int core_globals_id;
cc -E of
PG(connection_status) = PHP_CONNECTION_ABORTED;
translates to:
(((php_core_globals *) (*((void ***)
tsrm_ls))[((core_globals_id)-1)])->connection_status) = 1;
and cc -S of the same code results in:
.loc 1 108 0
movl %ebx, %eax
subl core_globals_id, %eax
movl (%esi), %edx
sall $2, %eax
negl %eax
movl (%edx,%eax), %eax
movw $1, 144(%eax)
I used fixed IDs instead of dynamically allocated ones and noticed a
decent improvement in performance (few percentage points) when
running a web-based ecommerce-site workload on SPARC CMT hardware.
With my changes the PG macro is defined as:
# define PG(v) TSRMG(CORE_GLOBALS_ID, php_core_globals *, v)
#define CORE_GLOBALS_ID 10
and core_globals_id is
extern PHPAPI const ts_rsrc_id core_globals_id;
cc -E of the same line of code translates to:
(((php_core_globals *) (*((void ***)
tsrm_ls))[((10)-1)])->connection_status) = 1;
cc -S (my version):
.loc 1 108 0
movl (%eax), %eax
movl 36(%eax), %eax
movw $1, 144(%eax)

Reproduce code:
---------------
The following patch implements this and incorporates the feedback
received on internals:
http://bitbucket.org/arvi/arviq/src/tip/arvi-16-ts_allocate_reserved_id
Expected result:
----------------
Improved performance when PHP is compiled with support for
multi-threading.
