This patch is a reorganization and optimization of the get_order()
function.
Currently each architecture defines its version in
asm-${ARCH}/page.h, being most of them the same function. I have
unified the implementation in asm-generic/page.h, as
generic_get_order(). Then each arch can implement it's own version
or use the generic one [as the patch stands now, every
architecture that had the generic version uses
generic_get_oder()].
The optimization is done in the way the generic_get_order() is
implemented; currently it is a loop - however, that can be highly
optimized by using fls() [available on each architecture or as
generic_fls() where not optimized].
On my tests in a tight loop doing repeated get_order() calls (see
included test program), I got an aprox average run time of 6m24s
for the unoptimized version (the old one, executing "time ./goo -v
speed-new") and 2m32s for the optimized version (executing "time
./goo -v speed-old"). The test machine is a 2xP3 933MHhz 1.5GB.
Even using generic_fls() on ia32 yields better results - my guess
is it caused for it being a fixed-path function instead of a for()
loop.
I was only able to test it and try it in ia32, so I don't know if
I broke anything else in other archs; reports welcome.
CAVEATS:
- the #include <asm-generic/page.h> ... I don't know if it is the
best way to do it. Any ideas?
- Some arches still define fls() as the generic_fls(), instead of
using bit-searching ASM instructions - I lack the knowledge to
fix it, though.
Changelog:
- Pull up to 2.5.52
- Fixes some obvious, blatant and stupid errors I did in the
first release.
- Increase the speed up.
Test program (patch follows):
compile with 'cc -Iinclude/ -Wall -g -O2 goo.c -o goo' from the
root of the patched linux kernel tree.
