Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced prefetch instructions. We use enhanced prefetch hints to prefetch both the load and store side. We copy a cacheline at a time and fall back to regular loads and stores if we are unable to use VMX (eg we are in an interrupt). The following microbenchmark was used to assess the impact of the patch: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/page_fault_file.c We test MAP_PRIVATE page faults across a 1GB file, 100 times: # time ./page_fault_file -p -l 1G -i 100 Before: 22.25s After: 18.89s 17% faster Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
