[PATCH v4 6/8] RISC-V: Use Zicboz in clear_page when available

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

 



Using memset() to zero a 4K page takes 563 total instructions, where
20 are branches. clear_page(), with Zicboz and a 64 byte block size,
takes 169 total instructions, where 4 are branches and 33 are nops.
Even though the block size is a variable, thanks to alternatives, we
can still implement a Duff device without having to do any preliminary
calculations. This is achieved by taking advantage of 'vendor_id'
being used as application-specific data for alternatives, enabling us
to stop patching / unrolling when 4K bytes have been zeroed (we would
loop and continue after 4K if the page size would be larger)

For 4K pages, unrolling 16 times allows block sizes of 64 and 128 to
only loop a few times and larger block sizes to not loop at all. Since
cbo.zero doesn't take an offset, we also need an 'add' after each
instruction, making the loop body 112 to 160 bytes. Hopefully this
is small enough to not cause icache misses.
