From 458f935527372499b714bf4f8e646a68bb0f52e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Mosberger-Tang Date: Wed, 4 May 2005 13:25:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] Speed up lfetch.fault [NULL] This patch greatly speeds up the handling of lfetch.fault instructions which result in NaT consumption. Due to the NaT-page mapped at address 0, this is guaranteed to happen when lfetch.fault'ing a NULL pointer. With this patch in place, we can even define prefetch()/prefetchw() as lfetch.fault without significant performance degradation. More importantly, it allows compilers to be more aggressive with using lfetch.fault on pointers that might be NULL.
