Subject: mm: optimise nth_page for contiguous memmap
If the memmap is virtually contiguous (either because we're using a
virtually mapped memmap or because we don't support a discontig memmap at
all), then we can implement nth_page() by simple addition. Contrary to
popular belief, the compiler is not able to optimise this itself for a
vmemmap configuration. This reduces one example user (sg.c) by four
instructions:
struct page *page = nth_page(rsv_schp->pages[k], offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);
before:
49 8b 45 70 mov 0x70(%r13),%rax
48 63 c9 movslq %ecx,%rcx
48 c1 eb 0c shr $0xc,%rbx
48 8b 04 c8 mov (%rax,%rcx,8),%rax
48 2b 05 00 00 00 00 sub 0x0(%rip),%rax
R_X86_64_PC32 vmemmap_base-0x4
48 c1 f8 06 sar $0x6,%rax
48 01 d8 add %rbx,%rax
48 c1 e0 06 shl $0x6,%rax
48 03 05 00 00 00 00 add 0x0(%rip),%rax
R_X86_64_PC32 vmemmap_base-0x4
after:
49 8b 45 70 mov 0x70(%r13),%rax
48 63 c9 movslq %ecx,%rcx
48 c1 eb 0c shr $0xc,%rbx
48 c1 e3 06 shl $0x6,%rbx
48 03 1c c8 add (%rax,%rcx,8),%rbx
