[PATCHv2] libfdt: Internally perform potentially unaligned loads

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



Commits 6dcb8ba4 "libfdt: Add helpers for accessing unaligned words"
introduced changes to support unaligned reads for ARM platforms and
11738cf01f15 "libfdt: Don't use memcpy to handle unaligned reads on ARM"
improved the performance of these helpers.

On further discussion, while there are potential cases where we could be
used on platforms that do not fixup unaligned reads for us, making this
choice the default is very expensive in terms of binary size and access
time.  To address this, introduce and use new _fdt{32,64}_ld functions
that call fdt{32,64}_to_cpu() as was done prior to the above mentioned
commits.  Leave the existing load functions as unaligned-safe and
include comments in both cases.

Changes in v2:
- Move the new internal functions to libfdt_internal.h (per Rob).
- Drop change to fdtget.c as it shouldn't use internal helpers, only
  exposed API.
- Add Rob's Reviewed-by
