How to calculate instruction executed for function

How to calculate instruction executed for function

[Pankaj Suryawanshi]

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 ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Pankaj

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.
