[NativeAOT] Thin locks #79519

VSadov · 2022-12-12T01:59:04Z

This change implements "thin" locks - lightweight spinlocks that use object header bits for mutual exclusion on NativeAOT.
In more complex scenarios such as blocking waits, a thin lock transparently transitions into a "fat" lock (implemented by System.Threading.Lock) that supports more scenarios.

Fixes: #75108
Fixes: #68891

After this change the performance of C# lock statement is significantly better in both scenarios - Thin (76% faster) and Fat (30% faster). For NativeAOT this is a considerable improvement. Thin lock is also allocation-free.

CoreClr is still a bit faster. About 20% faster in the thin lock scenario and 50% faster in fat lock scenario,
Managed implementation may eventually match or be faster than native, but we need to address a few codegen inefficiencies. Fixing that should happen separately from this PR. See referenced issues.
The main difference is accessing CurrentManagedThreadId. Accessing a thread static requires a method call, while c++ implementation of locks in CoreClr just inlines the access to a native TLS variable. The cost of this call really stands out and we need to call on both acquire and release parts.

These locks are fast. An uncontended lock/unlock cycle takes ~500-700 nsec. (~1 billion in 5sec), so little suboptimal things have effect.

I had to make some changes in the fat Lock as well.

a few tweaks to make no-contention code path faster.
excessive hardcoded spinning replaced with adaptive spinning
exponential backoff on contentions for the state of the lock
fairness issues, especially once excessive spinning was addressed. (the lock is unfair by design, but we should not allow cases when one thread forever starves everyone else)

Issue Details

This change implements "thin" locks - lightweight spinlocks that use object header bits for mutual exclusion on NativeAOT.
In scenarios that require blocking wait and a few others, a thin lock transparently transition into a "fat" lock (implemented by System.Threading.Lock) that supports more scenarios.

The main difference is accessing CurrentManagedThreadId. I have made the native side a bit faster, but it is still a method call to the native runtime for NativeAOT, while c++ implementation of locks just inlines the access. The cost of this call really stands out and we need to call on both acquire and release parts.

We see a lot of improvements in throughput and allocations too (since thin lock is a no-allocation path).
We are closer, but still not on par with CoreClr. As I mentioned, some codegen issues stand in the way and should be addressed separately.

Can we keep on extern "C" on this workaround to avoid introducing name mangling into the asm code?

I just ported the workaround from a similar change in CoreClr. I am not sure I completely understand why it is needed.
If removing extern "C" is not a part of the fix, I guess, why not. I will try.

The fix works fine with extern "C", so I will add it and revert the mangling in asm

Does non-Windows pay the penalty for TLS init checks? (ie similar workaround is not possible on non-Windows)

From the discussion of the original fix (#33347), I gathered that even on windows the workaround was not needed until some version of MSVC.
It is probably more a function of the c runtime than OS (glibc, musl, etc). It should be fairly easy to check what happens on glibc.
I also wonder if there are differences on arm64.

Linux/glibc does not require a similar fix. There are no checks when accessing TLS.

Here is the disassembly for reference.

This change is just because we switched to SpinWait that is calibrated to 35 nsec.
Previous numbers were assumed in terms of pre-skylake "pause", or, simply put, were divided by 8 in the underlying APIs.
I also made it power of 2. It is more convenient.

The valid indices start at 2 is so that we could return 1 and 0 as true/false and the rest to mean a syncblock index for the slow path to retry with.

Nit: We can use -1 and 0 to return the result, and still start at 1.

Are the bounds-check that expensive everywhere? I would rename it to UnsafeEntryRef and only use it in the two perf-critical places.

Bounds check adds some code into the caller and reads memory at arbitrary distance from the location that we need.
It makes difference only in two critical places though. We can use indexer in others.

Pinning the object using GetMethodTableRef is not generally ok, but it is ok here since it is very low-level ObjectHeader code.

Pinning method table ptr saves computing the offset to data. We are not interested in object's data here. Yes, this is a very unusual scenario. As long as byref is within the range of the object, it is all the same to GC as it will "align" to the containing object and pin that object.

I wish the object header belonged to the object though. We would not need pinning at all.

Once/if we do the codegen work to make thread statics fast, this change will be a de-optimization and we will go back to managed thread static.

Yes, once threadstatics are faster, we can just use a threadstatic.

I am thinking that we should keep using regular threadstatics for this even if it means that we are leaving some perf on the table for now.

Using threadstatics makes the lock noticeable slower.

Straightforward way with IdNone == 0 and without CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked is 36% slower.
-1 adjusted way with IdNone == -1 and CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked is 33% slower

=== current: Fat: 8031 Thin: 5684 Fat: 8034 Thin: 5680 Fat: 8000 Thin: 5810 === use threadstatic without CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked thin lock gets ~36% slower Fat: 9122 Thin: 7796 Fat: 9135 Thin: 7766 Fat: 9119 Thin: 7813 === use threadstatic with CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked and -1 adjustment so that uninitialized looks like -1 thin lock gets 33% slower Fat: 8759 Thin: 7567 Fat: 8747 Thin: 7583 Fat: 8713 Thin: 7574

I am going to switch to the "threadstatic with CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked and -1" variant then.

It is still better than before this PR and a possible gain of at least 33% should make improvement of threadstatics more interesting.

Right, there is no reason for a pinned local be on stack, it is just a matter of root reporting.

I experimented with using unpinned refs - that is obviously incorrect, but failures are rare enough to measure how much we would gain. It was not much - within noise.
It may matter more once we deal with other issues, so I figured - lets push for other issues first.
Since this came up and we already have an issue, I will add it to the list.

Instead of all this, we can just call Random.Shared.Next().

I think it would be fine to use UnsafeEntryRef for GetHashCode too.

-        public const int IdNone = 0;
+        public const int IdNone = -1;


Was there any actual problem with 0?

Zero is a tiny bit more efficient - the instructions to check for zero tend to have smaller encodings.

-1 is so that I could just fetch the ID unchecked on the critical paths and it would automatically go on a slow path if not yet initialized, since it would not fit into 16 bits.

Where is this trick used? I am not able to find it.

CurrentManagedThreadIdUnchecked is not checking for initialization.

Not supposed to, unless i mixed up something.

Ok, I see that now. Using -1 to signal "not yet initialized" state will make it harder to switch back to thread statics once we get them optimized.

Depending how thread statics end up working, I think we may just initialize the ID to the right value, if that does not entail checking "is initialized" all the time.
Or try initializing ID early enough, before it can possibly be used in any lock. It may already be the case, but I am not 100% sure and did not want to force such invariant just yet.

Alternatively we may do -1 when accessing the value, then uninitialized 0 will be seen as -1.

Thread statics are initialized to 0.

The current initialization to -1 in the unmanaged runtime is piggy backing on "is initialized" check done by reverse pinvoke that is the only way to enter managed code in native AOT. Once this is switched back to managed thread static, the initialization to -1 will need the "is initialized" check all the time.

Alternatively we may do -1 when accessing the value.

Yes, I think it would be better.

+                s_processorCount = RuntimeImports.RhGetProcessCpuCount();


Suggested change

s_processorCount = RuntimeImports.RhGetProcessCpuCount();

if (s_processorCount == 0)

s_processorCount = RuntimeImports.RhGetProcessCpuCount();

Avoid unnecessary writes of global state?

It would make sense if RhGetProcessCpuCount() is expensive. I guess, we do not know, so we can do the check,

The potentially most expensive part is cache-trashing caused by repeated writes.

Ah, I see, we also do not want to overwrite and invalidate the shared state every time another lock initializes its spin count.

The -1 trick can be local to the few places in ObjectHeader.cs that need it, like: if ((uint)(currentThreadID - 1) < (uint)SBLK_MASK_LOCK_THREADID). It does not need to be spread over multiple files like this.

Hmm, that would add extra condition though. Otherwise Release can't tell if lock is owned by nobody or by a thread with uninitialized thread ID.

When uninitialized ID is -1, itis too big to own a thin lock, so we do not need to check if the ID is initialized.
0 will match with unowned state.

ok, it can stay as is then.

I think Release can apply currentThreadID |= (currentThreadID - 1) >> 31 to have the same effect as if default was -1
If we store ID in off-by-one form, we still need to do "-1", so this would be just 2 extra operations, but the default can be 0.

The Acquire can do if ((uint)(currentThreadID - 1) < (uint)SBLK_MASK_LOCK_THREADID) as you suggested.
