From fe0bc3fd86c71ebdbf1cb29660078752f2238910 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:13:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/string.c: add multibyte memset functions commit 3b3c4babd898715926d24ae10aa64778ace33aae upstream. Patch series "Multibyte memset variations", v4. A relatively common idiom we're missing is a function to fill an area of memory with a pattern which is larger than a single byte. I first noticed this with a zram patch which wanted to fill a page with an 'unsigned long' value. There turn out to be quite a few places in the kernel which can benefit from using an optimised function rather than a loop; sometimes text size, sometimes speed, and sometimes both. The optimised PowerPC version (not included here) improves performance by about 30% on POWER8 on just the raw memset_l(). Most of the extra lines of code come from the three testcases I added. This patch (of 8): memset16(), memset32() and memset64() are like memset(), but allow the caller to fill the destination with a value larger than a single byte. memset_l() and memset_p() allow the caller to use unsigned long and pointer values respectively.
