Subject: [GIT PULL] prefetch support for 3.13
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 18:13:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131009171312.GJ8378@mudshark.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)
Hi Russell,
Please pull the following patches for 3.13. They add support for the pldw
instruction (prefetch with intent to modify) in ARMv7 SMP cores, which is
then used to gain a measurable performance boost for particular atomic
sequences.
Cheers,
Will
