Chris Wilson c7c6e46f91 drm/i915: Convert execbuf to use struct-of-array packing for critical fields
When userspace is doing most of the work, avoiding relocs (using
NO_RELOC) and opting out of implicit synchronisation (using ASYNC), we
still spend a lot of time processing the arrays in execbuf, even though
we now should have nothing to do most of the time. One issue that
becomes readily apparent in profiling anv is that iterating over the
large execobj[] is unfriendly to the loop prefetchers of the CPU and it
much prefers iterating over a pair of arrays rather than one big array.

v2: Clear vma[] on construction to handle errors during vma lookup

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
