Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86_64: use REP MOVSB in copy_page()
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 21:23:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170426182318.GA5069@avx2> (raw)

On my Broadwell-era Xeon copying page with REP MOVSB is ~7.8% faster
than with REP MOVSQ. Choose REP MOVSB copy_page() at runtime
with alternatives.
