From: Vijaya Kumar K <vijaya.ku...@cavium.com> Optional parameters of __builtin_prefetch() which specifies rw and locality to 0's. For checking buffer is zero, set rw as read and temporal locality to 0.
On arm64, __builtin_prefetch(addr) generates 'prfm pldl1keep' where __builtin_prefetch(addr, 0, 0) generates 'prfm pldl1strm' instruction which is optimal for this use case Signed-off-by: Vijaya Kumar K <vijaya.ku...@cavium.com> Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <r...@twiddle.net> --- util/bufferiszero.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/util/bufferiszero.c b/util/bufferiszero.c index eb974b7..421d945 100644 --- a/util/bufferiszero.c +++ b/util/bufferiszero.c @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ buffer_zero_int(const void *buf, size_t len) const uint64_t *e = (uint64_t *)(((uintptr_t)buf + len) & -8); for (; p + 8 <= e; p += 8) { - __builtin_prefetch(p + 8); + __builtin_prefetch(p + 8, 0, 0); if (t) { return false; } @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ buffer_zero_sse2(const void *buf, size_t len) /* Loop over 16-byte aligned blocks of 64. */ while (likely(p <= e)) { - __builtin_prefetch(p); + __builtin_prefetch(p, 0, 0); t = _mm_cmpeq_epi8(t, zero); if (unlikely(_mm_movemask_epi8(t) != 0xFFFF)) { return false; @@ -127,7 +127,7 @@ buffer_zero_sse4(const void *buf, size_t len) /* Loop over 16-byte aligned blocks of 64. */ while (likely(p <= e)) { - __builtin_prefetch(p); + __builtin_prefetch(p, 0, 0); if (unlikely(!_mm_testz_si128(t, t))) { return false; } @@ -162,7 +162,7 @@ buffer_zero_avx2(const void *buf, size_t len) if (likely(p <= e)) { /* Loop over 32-byte aligned blocks of 128. */ do { - __builtin_prefetch(p); + __builtin_prefetch(p, 0, 0); if (unlikely(!_mm256_testz_si256(t, t))) { return false; } @@ -303,7 +303,7 @@ bool buffer_is_zero(const void *buf, size_t len) } /* Fetch the beginning of the buffer while we select the accelerator. */ - __builtin_prefetch(buf); + __builtin_prefetch(buf, 0, 0); /* Use an optimized zero check if possible.
