Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc/code-patching: Restore 32-bit patching performance
Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2024 09:48:48 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240325224848.20987-3-bgray@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240325224848.20987-1-bgray@linux.ibm.com>

The new open/close abstraction makes it more difficult for a
compiler to optimise. This causes 10% worse performance on
ppc32 as in [1]. Restoring the page alignment mask and inlining
the helpers allows the compiler to better reason about the address
alignment, allowing more optimised cache flushing selection.

Suggested-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu>

v2: * New in v2

I think Suggested-by is an appropriate tag. The patch is Christophe's
from the link, I just added the commit description, so it could well
be better to change the author to Christophe completely.
