UefiCpuPkg: CpuIo2Dxe: optimize FIFO reads and writes of IO ports * Short description: The CpuIoServiceRead() and CpuIoServiceWrite() functions transfer data between memory and IO ports with individual Io(Read|Write)(8|16|32) function calls, each in an appropriately set up loop. On the Ia32 and X64 platforms however, FIFO reads and writes can be optimized, by coding them in assembly, and delegating the loop to the CPU, with the REP prefix. On KVM virtualization hosts, this difference has a huge performance impact: if the loop is open-coded, then the virtual machine traps to the hypervisor on every single UINT8 / UINT16 / UINT32 transfer, whereas with the REP prefix, KVM can transfer up to a page of data per VM trap. This is especially noticeable with IDE PIO transfers, where all the data are squeezed through IO ports. * Long description: The RootBridgeIoIoRW() function in PcAtChipsetPkg/PciHostBridgeDxe/PciRootBridgeIo.c used to have the exact same IO port acces optimization, dating back verbatim to commit 1fd376d9792: PcAtChipsetPkg/PciHostBridgeDxe: Improve KVM FIFO I/O read/write performance OvmfPkg cloned the "PcAtChipsetPkg/PciHostBridgeDxe" driver (for unrelated reasons), and inherited the optimization from PcAtChipsetPkg. The "PcAtChipsetPkg/PciHostBridgeDxe" driver was ultimately removed in commit 111d79db47: PcAtChipsetPkg/PciHostBridge: Remove PciHostBridge driver and OvmfPkg too was rebased to the new core Pci Host Bridge Driver, in commit 4014885ffd: OvmfPkg: switch to MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/PciHostBridgeDxe This caused the optimization to go lost. Namely, the RootBridgeIoIoRead() and RootBridgeIoIoWrite() functions in the new core Pci Host Bridge Driver delegate IO port accesses to EFI_CPU_IO2_PROTOCOL. And, in OvmfPkg (and likely most other Ia32 / X64 edk2 platforms), this protocol is provided by "UefiCpuPkg/CpuIo2Dxe", which lacks the optimization. Therefore, this patch ports the C source code logic from commit 1fd376d9792 (see above) to "UefiCpuPkg/CpuIo2Dxe", plus it ports the NASM-converted assembly helper functions from OvmfPkg commits 6026bf460037 and ace1d0517b65: OvmfPkg PciHostBridgeDxe: Convert Ia32/IoFifo.asm to NASM OvmfPkg PciHostBridgeDxe: Convert X64/IoFifo.asm to NASM In order to support the MSFT and INTEL toolchains as well, the *.asm files are ported from OvmfPkg as well, immediately from before the above conversion (that is, at 6026bf460037^). * Notes about the port: - The write and read branches from commit 1fd376d9792 are split to the separate functions CpuIoServiceWrite() and CpuIoServiceRead(). - The EfiPciWidthUintXX constants are replaced with EfiCpuIoWidthUintXX. - The cast expression "(UINTN) Address" is replaced with "(UINTN)Address" (i.e., no space), because that's how the receiving functions spell it as well. - The labels in the switch statements are unindented by one level, to match the edk2 coding style (and the rest of UefiCpuPkg) better. * The first signoff belongs to Jordan, because he authored all of 1fd376d9792, 6026bf460037 and ace1d0517b65.
