[PATCH] MIPS: Optimize pgd_init and pmd_init

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

 



From: David Daney <ddaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On a dual issue processor GCC generates code that saves a couple of
clock cycles per loop if we rearrange things slightly.  Checking for
p != end saves a SLTU per loop, moving the increment to the middle can
let it dual issue on multi-issue processors.
