From a393d5cc8d22b628fcc1da1b3a2cdae42ca643a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 16:50:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] precalculate gnu hash rather than doing it lazily in find_sym inner loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit this change was suggested based on testing done by Timo Teräs almost two years ago; the branch (and probably call prep overhead) in the inner loop was found to contribute noticably to total symbol lookup time. this change will make lookup slightly slower if libraries were built with only the traditional "sysv" ELF hash table, but based on how much slower lookup tends to be without the gnu hash table, it seems reasonable to assume that (1) users building without gnu hash don't care about dynamic linking performance, and (2) the extra time spent computing the gnu hash is likely to be dominated by the slowness of the sysv hash table lookup anyway. --- ldso/dynlink.c | 10 ++-------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/ldso/dynlink.c b/ldso/dynlink.c index 178fe27e..5361b844 100644 --- a/ldso/dynlink.c +++ b/ldso/dynlink.c @@ -258,18 +258,12 @@ static Sym *gnu_lookup_filtered(uint32_t h1, uint32_t *hashtab, struct dso *dso, static struct symdef find_sym(struct dso *dso, const char *s, int need_def) { - uint32_t h = 0, gh, gho, *ght; - size_t ghm = 0; + uint32_t h = 0, gh = gnu_hash(s), gho = gh / (8*sizeof(size_t)), *ght; + size_t ghm = 1ul << gh % (8*sizeof(size_t)); struct symdef def = {0}; for (; dso; dso=dso->syms_next) { Sym *sym; if ((ght = dso->ghashtab)) { - if (!ghm) { - gh = gnu_hash(s); - int maskbits = 8 * sizeof ghm; - gho = gh / maskbits; - ghm = 1ul << gh % maskbits; - } sym = gnu_lookup_filtered(gh, ght, dso, s, gho, ghm); } else { if (!h) h = sysv_hash(s);
