[PATCH 3.2 07/46] x86: Add 1/2/4/8 byte optimization to 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic

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

 



3.2.81-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ff47ab4ff3cddfa7bc1b25b990e24abe2ae474ff upstream.

The 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic always called
copy_from_user_generic, but skipped the special optimizations for 1/2/4/8
byte accesses.

This especially hurts the futex call, which accesses the 4 byte futex
user value with a complicated fast string operation in a function call,
instead of a single movl.

Use __copy_{from,to}_user for _inatomic instead to get the same
optimizations. The only problem was the might_fault() in those functions.
So move that to new wrapper and call __copy_{f,t}_user_nocheck()
from *_inatomic directly.

32bit already did this correctly by duplicating the code.
