snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com 698af469b4 Change a few ORs to additions where they don't matter. This helps the compiler
use the LEA instruction more efficiently, since e.g. a + (b << 2) can be encoded
as one instruction. Even more importantly, it can constant-fold the
COPY_* enums together with the shifted negative constants, which also saves
some instructions. (We don't need it for LITERAL, since it happens to be 0.)

I am unsure why the compiler couldn't do this itself, but the theory is that
it cannot prove that len-1 and len-4 cannot underflow/wrap, and thus can't
do the optimization safely.

The gains are small but measurable; 0.5-1.0% over the BM_Z* benchmarks
(measured on Westmere, Sandy Bridge and Istanbul).

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com 8b95464146 Snappy library no longer depends on iostream.
Achieved by moving logging macro definitions to a test-only
header file, and by changing non-test code to use assert,
fprintf, and abort instead of LOG/CHECK macros.

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com dc63e0ad96 For 32-bit platforms, do not try to accelerate multiple neighboring
32-bit loads with a 64-bit load during compression (it's not a win).

The main target for this optimization is ARM, but 32-bit x86 gets
a small gain, too, although there is noise in the microbenchmarks.
It's a no-op for 64-bit x86. It does not affect decompression.

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com f8829ea39d Enable the use of unaligned loads and stores for ARM-based architectures
where they are available (ARMv7 and higher). This gives a significant 
speed boost on ARM, both for compression and decompression. 
It should not affect x86 at all. 
 
There are more changes possible to speed up ARM, but it might not be 
that easy to do without hurting x86 or making the code uglier. 
Also, we de not try to use NEON yet.

The move from 64-bit to 32-bit operations for the copies also affected 32-bit x86;
positive on the decompression side, and slightly negative on the compression side
(unless that is noise; I only ran once):

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com d9068ee301 Fix public issue r57: Fix most warnings with -Wall, mostly signed/unsigned
warnings. There are still some in the unit test, but the main .cc file should
be clean. We haven't enabled -Wall for the default build, since the unit test
is still not clean.

This also fixes a real bug in the open-source implementation of
ReadFileToStringOrDie(); it would not detect errors correctly.

I had to go through some pains to avoid performance loss as the types
were changed; I think there might still be some with 32-bit if and only if LFS
is enabled (ie., size_t is 64-bit), but for regular 32-bit and 64-bit I can't
see any losses, and I've diffed the generated GCC assembler between the old and
new code without seeing any significant choices. If anything, it's ever so
slightly faster.

This may or may not enable compression of very large blocks (>2^32 bytes)
when size_t is 64-bit, but I haven't checked, and it is still not a supported
case.

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com d7eb2dc413 Speed up decompression by moving the refill check to the end of the loop.
This seems to work because in most of the branches, the compiler can evaluate
“ip_limit_ - ip” in a more efficient way than reloading ip_limit_ from memory
(either by already having the entire expression in a register, or reconstructing
it from “avail”, or something else). Memory loads, even from L1, are seemingly
costly in the big picture at the current decompression speeds.

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com 5ed51ce15f Speed up decompression by making the fast path for literals faster.
We do the fast-path step as soon as possible; in fact, as soon as we know the
literal length. Since we usually hit the fast path, we can then skip the checks
for long literals and available input space (beyond what the fast path check
already does).

Note that this changes the decompression Writer API; however, it does not
change the ABI, since writers are always templatized and as such never
cross compilation units. The new API is slightly more general, in that it
doesn't hard-code the value 16. Note that we also take care to check
for len <= 16 first, since the other two checks almost always succeed
(so we don't want to waste time checking for them until we have to).

The improvements are most marked on Nehalem, but are generally positive
on other platforms as well. All microbenchmarks are 64-bit, opt.

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com f540673740 Speed up decompression by removing a fast-path attempt.
Whenever we try to enter a copy fast-path, there is a certain cost in checking
that all the preconditions are in place, but it's normally offset by the fact
that we can usually take the cheaper path. However, in a certain path we've
already established that "avail < literal_length", which usually means that
either the available space is small, or the literal is big. Both will disqualify
us from taking the fast path, and thus we take the hit from the precondition
checking without gaining much from having a fast path. Thus, simply don't try
the fast path in this situation -- we're already on a slow path anyway
(one where we need to refill more data from the reader).

I'm a bit surprised at how much this gained; it could be that this path is
more common than I thought, or that the simpler structure somehow makes the
compiler happier. I haven't looked at the assembler, but it's a win across
the board on both Core 2, Core i7 and Opteron, at least for the cases we
typically care about. The gains seem to be the largest on Core i7, though.
Results from my Core i7 workstation:

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com 197f3ee9f9 Speed up decompression by not needing a lookup table for literal items.
Looking up into and decoding the values from char_table has long shown up as a
hotspot in the decompressor. While it turns out that it's hard to make a more
efficient decoder for the copy ops, the literals are simple enough that we can
decode them without needing a table lookup. (This means that 1/4 of the table
is now unused, although that in itself doesn't buy us anything.)

The gains are small, but definitely present; some tests win as much as 10%,
but 1-4% is more typical. These results are from Core i7, in 64-bit mode;
Core 2 and Opteron show similar results. (I've run with more iterations
than unusual to make sure the smaller gains don't drown entirely in noise.)

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com 2e12124bd8 Remove an unneeded goto in the decompressor; it turns out that the
state of ip_ after decompression (or attempted decompresion) is
completely irrelevant, so we don't need the trailer.

Performance is, as expected, mostly flat -- there's a curious ~3-5%
loss in the "lsp" test, but that test case is so short it is hard to say
anything definitive about why (most likely, it's some sort of
unrelated effect).

snappy.mirrorbot@gmail.com c266bbf321 Speed up decompression by caching ip_.
It is seemingly hard for the compiler to understand that ip_, the current input
pointer into the compressed data stream, can not alias on anything else, and
thus using it directly will incur memory traffic as it cannot be kept in a
register. The code already knew about this and cached it into a local
variable, but since Step() only decoded one tag, it had to move ip_ back into
place between every tag. This seems to have cost us a significant amount of
performance, so changing Step() into a function that decodes as much as it can
before it saves ip_ back and returns. (Note that Step() was already inlined,
so it is not the manual inlining that buys the performance here.)

The wins are about 3-6% for Core 2, 6-13% on Core i7 and 5-12% on Opteron
(for plain array-to-array decompression, in 64-bit opt mode).

There is a tiny difference in the behavior here; if an invalid literal is
encountered (ie., the writer refuses the Append() operation), ip_ will now
point to the byte past the tag byte, instead of where the literal was
originally thought to end. However, we don't use ip_ for anything after
DecompressAllTags() has returned, so this should not change external behavior
in any way.

Microbenchmark results for Core i7, 64-bit (Opteron results are similar):

Replace the Apache 2.0 license header by the BSD-type license header;
	somehow a lot of the files were missed in the last round.

Change on 2011-03-25 19:25:07-07:00 by sesse

	Unbreak the build; the relicensing removed a bit too much (only comments
	were intended, but I also accidentially removed some of the top lines of
	the actual source).
