Subject: [PATCH] arm64: lib: patch in prfm for copy_template if requested
Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2017 17:27:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484098068-30433-2-git-send-email-apinski@cavium.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1484098068-30433-1-git-send-email-apinski@cavium.com>
On ThunderX T88 pass 1 and pass 2, there is no hardware prefetching so
we need to patch in explicit software prefetching instructions.
This speeds up copy_to_user and copy_from_user for large size.
The main use of large sizes is I/O read/writes.
