Message-ID: <tip-e365c9df2f2f001450decf9512412d2d5bd1cdef@git.kernel.org> Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 20:41:52 GMT From: tip-bot for Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com> To: linux-tip-commits@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, hpa@...or.com, mingo@...hat.com, fenghua.yu@...el.com, tglx@...utronix.de, hpa@...ux.intel.com Subject: [tip:perf/core] x86, mem: clear_page_64.S: Support clear_page() with enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB Commit-ID: e365c9df2f2f001450decf9512412d2d5bd1cdef Gitweb: http://git.kernel.org/tip/e365c9df2f2f001450decf9512412d2d5bd1cdef Author: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com> AuthorDate: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:29:14 -0700 Committer: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com> CommitDate: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:40:27 -0700 x86, mem: clear_page_64.S: Support clear_page() with enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB Intel processors are adding enhancements to REP MOVSB/STOSB and the use of REP MOVSB/STOSB for optimal memcpy/memset or similar functions is recommended. Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/ STOSB). Support clear_page() with rep stosb for processor supporting enhanced REP MOVSB /STOSB. On processors supporting enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, the alternative clear_page_c_e function using enhanced REP STOSB overrides the original function and the fast string function.
