Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: prefetch: add prefetchw invocations for barriered atomics
Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 13:28:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391520525-14903-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
After a bunch of benchmarking on the interaction between dmb and pldw,
it turns out that issuing the pldw *after* the dmb instruction can
give modest performance gains (~3% atomic_add_return improvement on a
dual A15).
This patch adds prefetchw invocations to our barriered atomic operations
including cmpxchg, test_and_xxx and futexes.
