This series optimizes access_ok() by defining TASK_SIZE_MAX. At Alex's
suggestion, I also tried making TASK_SIZE constant (specifically by
making PGDIR_SHIFT a variable instead of a ternary expression, then
replacing the load with an immediate using ALTERNATIVE). This appeared
to slightly improve performance on some implementations (C906) but
regressed it on others (FU740). So I am leaving further optimizations to
a later series.
Changes in v2:
- Add a patch removing PGDIR_SIZE_L3 and TASK_SIZE_MIN
- Set TASK_SIZE_MAX to LONG_MAX to optimize the comparison
- Reword the commit message
Samuel Holland (2):
riscv: Remove PGDIR_SIZE_L3 and TASK_SIZE_MIN
riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for __access_ok()
