Subject: [PATCH] perf bench: Add options for specifying access alignment to "mem memcpy"
Hi Ingo,
Alignment of memory access can cause performance degradation
in simple memory copy. So this patch adds the option to
specify access alignment used when calling memcpy().
Current maximum alignment is 8 byte, should this value
can be configurable?
I'll test Miao Xie's patch with this option later.
Example of use:
| mitake@...1i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB -r x86-64-unrolled
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
|
| 748.866217 MB/Sec
| 4.521793 GB/Sec (with prefault)
| mitake@...1i:~/linux/.../tools/perf% ./perf bench mem memcpy -l 500MB -r x86-64-unrolled -d 3
| # Running mem/memcpy benchmark...
| # Copying 500MB Bytes ...
|
| 769.653487 MB/Sec
| 3.518181 GB/Sec (with prefault)
In latter case, access to destination memory ragion is shifted 3 bytes,
and performance degradation is observed in prefaulted copy.
