WIP: Performance improvements

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

 



We are optimizing for more performance. Please find the change-set below
for easy review before next revision and post your comments:

- Replace memcpy() with direct copy as it proving to be very expensive
- Don't check if PAGE_IS_FILE if no mask needs it as it is very
  expensive to check per pte
- Add question in comment for discussion purpose
- Add fast path for exclusive WP for ptes
