arm64: lib: improve copy_page to deal with 128 bytes at a time
We want to avoid lots of different copy_page implementations, settling for something that is "good enough" everywhere and hopefully easy to understand and maintain whilst we're at it. This patch reworks our copy_page implementation based on discussions with Cavium on the list and benchmarking on Cortex-A processors so that: - The loop is unrolled to copy 128 bytes per iteration - The reads are offset so that we read from the next 128-byte block in the same iteration that we store the previous block - Explicit prefetch instructions are removed for now, since they hurt performance on CPUs with hardware prefetching - The loop exit condition is calculated at the start of the loop Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Tested-by: Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
