[PATCH] ARM64: Improve copy_page for 128 cache line sizes.

Andrew Pinski apinski at cavium.com
Sat Dec 19 16:11:18 PST 2015


Adding a check for the cache line size is not much overhead.
Special case 128 byte cache line size.
This improves copy_page by 85% on ThunderX compared to the
original implementation.

For LMBench, it improves between 4-10%.
