Hi Matteo, Have you tried Glibc generic implementation code? ref: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20190629053641.3iBfk9-I_D29cDp9yJnIdIg7oMtHNZlDmhLQPTumhEc@z/#t If Glibc codes have the same performance in your hardware, then you could give a generic implementation first. The current Linux generic implementation is so simple in lib/string.c: #ifndef __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY /** * memcpy - Copy one area of memory to another * @dest: Where to copy to * @src: Where to copy from * @count: The size of the area. * * You should not use this function to access IO space, use memcpy_toio() * or memcpy_fromio() instead. */ void *memcpy(void *dest, const void *src, size_t count) { char *tmp = dest; const char *s = src; while (count--) *tmp++ = *s++; return dest; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(memcpy); #endif On Tue, Jun 15, 2021 at 10:42 AM Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > Write a C version of memcpy() which uses the biggest data size allowed, > without generating unaligned accesses. > > The procedure is made of three steps: > First copy data one byte at time until the destination buffer is aligned > to a long boundary. > Then copy the data one long at time shifting the current and the next u8 > to compose a long at every cycle. > Finally, copy the remainder one byte at time. > > On a BeagleV, the TCP RX throughput increased by 45%: > > before: > > $ iperf3 -c beaglev > Connecting to host beaglev, port 5201 > [ 5] local 192.168.85.6 port 44840 connected to 192.168.85.48 port 5201 > [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd > [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 76.4 MBytes 641 Mbits/sec 27 624 KBytes > [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 72.5 MBytes 608 Mbits/sec 0 708 KBytes > [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 10 451 KBytes > [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 72.5 MBytes 608 Mbits/sec 0 564 KBytes > [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 0 658 KBytes > [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 14 522 KBytes > [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 0 621 KBytes > [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 72.5 MBytes 608 Mbits/sec 0 706 KBytes > [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 20 580 KBytes > [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 73.8 MBytes 619 Mbits/sec 0 672 KBytes > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr > [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 736 MBytes 618 Mbits/sec 71 sender > [ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 733 MBytes 615 Mbits/sec receiver > > after: > > $ iperf3 -c beaglev > Connecting to host beaglev, port 5201 > [ 5] local 192.168.85.6 port 44864 connected to 192.168.85.48 port 5201 > [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr Cwnd > [ 5] 0.00-1.00 sec 109 MBytes 912 Mbits/sec 48 559 KBytes > [ 5] 1.00-2.00 sec 108 MBytes 902 Mbits/sec 0 690 KBytes > [ 5] 2.00-3.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 36 396 KBytes > [ 5] 3.00-4.00 sec 108 MBytes 902 Mbits/sec 0 567 KBytes > [ 5] 4.00-5.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 0 699 KBytes > [ 5] 5.00-6.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 32 414 KBytes > [ 5] 6.00-7.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 0 583 KBytes > [ 5] 7.00-8.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 0 708 KBytes > [ 5] 8.00-9.00 sec 106 MBytes 891 Mbits/sec 28 433 KBytes > [ 5] 9.00-10.00 sec 108 MBytes 902 Mbits/sec 0 591 KBytes > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr > [ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 1.04 GBytes 897 Mbits/sec 144 sender > [ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.04 GBytes 894 Mbits/sec receiver > > And the decreased CPU time of the memcpy() is observable with perf top. > This is the `perf top -Ue task-clock` output when doing the test: > > before: > > Overhead Shared O Symbol > 42.22% [kernel] [k] memcpy > 35.00% [kernel] [k] __asm_copy_to_user > 3.50% [kernel] [k] sifive_l2_flush64_range > 2.30% [kernel] [k] stmmac_napi_poll_rx > 1.11% [kernel] [k] memset > > after: > > Overhead Shared O Symbol > 45.69% [kernel] [k] __asm_copy_to_user > 29.06% [kernel] [k] memcpy > 4.09% [kernel] [k] sifive_l2_flush64_range > 2.77% [kernel] [k] stmmac_napi_poll_rx > 1.24% [kernel] [k] memset > > Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/riscv/include/asm/string.h | 8 ++- > arch/riscv/kernel/riscv_ksyms.c | 2 - > arch/riscv/lib/Makefile | 2 +- > arch/riscv/lib/memcpy.S | 108 -------------------------------- > arch/riscv/lib/string.c | 94 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > 5 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 113 deletions(-) > delete mode 100644 arch/riscv/lib/memcpy.S > create mode 100644 arch/riscv/lib/string.c > > diff --git a/arch/riscv/include/asm/string.h b/arch/riscv/include/asm/string.h > index 909049366555..6b5d6fc3eab4 100644 > --- a/arch/riscv/include/asm/string.h > +++ b/arch/riscv/include/asm/string.h > @@ -12,9 +12,13 @@ > #define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMSET > extern asmlinkage void *memset(void *, int, size_t);
