Program optimizations based on data dependences may not preserve the memory consistency in the programs. Previous works leverage a hardware ATOMICITY primitive to restrict the thread interleaving for preserving
sequential consistency
in region optimizations. However, ATOMICITY primitive is over restrictive on the thread interleaving for optimizing real-world applications developed with the popular
Total-Store-Ordering
(TSO) memory consistency, which is weaker than sequential consistency. In this paper, we present a novel hardware TSO_ATOMICITY primitive, which has less restriction on the thread interleaving than ATOMICITY primitive to permit more efficient program execution than ATOMICITY primitive, but can still preserve TSO memory consistency in all region optimizations. Furthermore, TSO_ATOMICITY primitive requires similar architecture support as ATOMICITY primitive and can be implemented with only slight change to the existing ATOMICITY primitive implementation. Our experimental results show that in a start-of-art dynamic binary optimization system on a large set of workloads, ATOMICITY primitive can only improve the performance by 4% on average. TSO_ATOMICITY primitive can reduce the overhead associated with ATOMICITY primitive and improve the performance by 12% on average.
