powerpc: Pair loads and stores in copy_4k_page
A number of our chips like loads and stores to be paired. A small kernel module testcase shows the improvement of pairing loads and stores in copy_4k_page: POWER6: +9% POWER7: +1.5% #include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/mm.h> #define ITERATIONS 10000000 static int __init copypage_init(void) { struct timespec before, after; unsigned long i; struct page *destpage, *srcpage; char *dest, *src; destpage = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL); srcpage = alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL); dest = page_address(destpage); src = page_address(srcpage); getnstimeofday(&before); for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) copy_4K_page(dest, src); getnstimeofday(&after); free_page((unsigned long)dest); free_page((unsigned long)src); printk(KERN_DEBUG "copy_4K_page loop took %lu ns\n", (after.tv_sec - before.tv_sec) * NSEC_PER_SEC + (after.tv_nsec - before.tv_nsec)); return 0; } static void __exit copypage_exit(void) { } module_init(copypage_init) module_exit(copypage_exit) MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR("Anton Blanchard"); Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
