It would be great if we started adding tests under tools/testing/selftests so that other people can recreate your tests/benchmarks. > diff --git a/arch/sparc/include/asm/tsb.h b/arch/sparc/include/asm/tsb.h > index 32258e0..7b240a3 100644 > --- a/arch/sparc/include/asm/tsb.h > +++ b/arch/sparc/include/asm/tsb.h > @@ -195,6 +195,35 @@ extern struct tsb_phys_patch_entry __tsb_phys_patch, __tsb_phys_patch_end; > nop; \ > 699: > > + /* PUD has been loaded into REG1, interpret the value, seeing > + * if it is a HUGE PUD or a normal one.

Yes, it's just a two cycle constant load, a test modifying the condition codes, and an easy to predict branch. But every machine will eat this overhead, even if they don't use hugepages or don't set the 16GB knob. I think we can do better, using code patching or similar. Once the knob is set, you can know for sure that this code path will never actually be taken. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
