[PATCH 3/3] x86: branchless copy_page()

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] x86: branchless copy_page()
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 19:28:21 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160823162821.GA2433@p183.telecom.by> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160823162533.GB2286@p183.telecom.by>

Apply alternatives at the call site instead of function body.
Save branch per copied page.

Rename individual function, show immediately in profiles
which method is being used.

RBX and R12 are saved and restored by unrolled-mov implementation,
don't clobber them explicitly.
