drm_memcpy_from_wc() performs fast copy from WC memory type using non-temporal instructions. Now there are two similar implementations of this function. One exists in drm_cache.c as drm_memcpy_from_wc() and another implementation in i915/i915_memcpy.c as i915_memcpy_from_wc(). drm_memcpy_from_wc() was the recent addition through the series https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/436276/?series=90681&rev=6 The goal of this patch series is to change all users of i915_memcpy_from_wc() to drm_memcpy_from_wc() and a have common implementation in drm and eventually remove the copy from i915. Another benefit of using memcpy functions from drm is that drm_memcpy_from_wc() is available for non-x86 architectures. i915_memcpy_from_wc() is implemented only for x86 and prevents building i915 for ARM64. drm_memcpy_from_wc() does fast copy using non-temporal instructions for x86 and for other architectures makes use of memcpy() family of functions as fallback. Another major difference is unlike i915_memcpy_from_wc(), drm_memcpy_from_wc() will not fail if the passed address argument is not alignment to be used with non-temporal load instructions or if the platform lacks support for those instructions (non-temporal load instructions are provided through SSE4.1 instruction set extension). Instead drm_memcpy_from_wc() continues with fallback functions to complete the copy. This relieves the caller from checking the return value of i915_memcpy_from_wc() and explicitly using a fallback. Follow up series will be created to remove the memcpy_from_wc functions from i915 once the dependency is completely removed.
