DMA cocherency slows the transfer down on systems without hardware coherent DMA. In order to demontrate this we introduce performance measurement facilities in patch 1 and fix the performance issue in patch 2 in order to obtain 3.3 times speedup.
Changes since v5: * add dma_sync_single_for_device() as required by Laurent Pinchart Changes since v4: * fix fields order in trace events * minor style fixes Changes since v3: * fix scripts/checkpatch.pl errors * use __string to store name in trace events Changes since v2: * use dma_sync_single_for_cpu() to achive better performance * remeasured performance Changes since v1: * trace_pwc_handler_exit() call moved to proper place * detailed description added for commit 1 * additional output added to trace to track separate frames Matwey V.
