[PATCH] libfdt: Add fdt_property_nocompress variants that trade size for speed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Searching for duplicate names scales O(n^2) with the number of names
added to a fdt, which can cause a noticable slowdown with larger device
trees and very slow CPU cores.

Add fdt_property_nocompress variants that allow the caller to trade
size for speed.

A more comprehensive approach may be a new fdt building API with state
that allows control of these tradeoffs, or in-memory data structures
that can get the best of both worlds. But this simple approach is usable
for now. This adds no real compatibility burden because defining the new
calls to be identical to old is a valid implementation.
