ARM: 8812/1: Optimise copy_{from/to}_user for !CPU_USE_DOMAINS
ARMv6+ processors do not use CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS and use privileged ldr/str instructions in copy_{from/to}_user. They are currently unnecessarily using single ldr/str instructions and can use ldm/stm instructions instead like memcpy does (but with appropriate fixup tables). This speeds up a "dd if=foo of=bar bs=32k" on a tmpfs filesystem by about 4% on my Cortex-A9. before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.543848 seconds, 235.4MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.538610 seconds, 237.6MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.544356 seconds, 235.1MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.544364 seconds, 235.1MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.537130 seconds, 238.3MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.533443 seconds, 240.0MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.545691 seconds, 234.6MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.534695 seconds, 239.4MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.540561 seconds, 236.8MB/s before:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.541025 seconds, 236.6MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.520445 seconds, 245.9MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.527846 seconds, 242.5MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.519510 seconds, 246.4MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.527231 seconds, 242.8MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.525030 seconds, 243.8MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.524236 seconds, 244.2MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.523659 seconds, 244.4MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.525018 seconds, 243.8MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.519249 seconds, 246.5MB/s after:134217728 bytes (128.0MB) copied, 0.518527 seconds, 246.9MB/s Reviewed-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Vincent Whitchurch <vincent.whitchurch@axis.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>
