Subject: powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LE
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=00f554fadebb96877ad449758dc90303a9826afe;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

powerpc: memcpy optimization for 64bit LE

Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian.
This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores.
Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops
(which are already endian safe).

The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit
memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is.
Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because
we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through
rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for
all other 64bit platforms.

[ I simplified the loop a bit - Anton ]
