This trivial patch gives a performance boost to the framebuffer console Constructing the bitmaps that are given to the bitblit functions of the framebuffer drivers is time consuming. Here we avoide a call to the slow fb_pad_aligned_buffer(). The patch replaces that call with a simple but much more efficient bytewise copy. The kernel spends a significant time at this place if you use 8x* fonts. Every pixel displayed on your screen is prepared here. Some benchmark results: Displaying a file of 2000 lines with 160 characters each takes 889 ms system time using cyblafb on my system (I´m using a 1280x1024 video mode, resulting in a 160x64 character console) Displaying the same file with the enclosed patch applied to 2.6.13 only takes 760 ms system time, saving 129 ms or 14.5%. Font widths other than 8 are not affected. The advantage and correctness of this patch should be obvious.
