Modified Files:
src/sys/arch/x86/x86: pmap.c
Log Message:
use __builtin_assume_aligned() on places where the memset() or memcpy()
parameters are known to be PAGE_SIZE-aligned, so compiler doesn't need
to emit atrocious alignment check code when inlining them
this particularly improves pmap_zero_page() and pmap_copy_page(),
which are now reduced to only 'rep stosq', and close to what a hand-written
assembly would do
Note: on CPUs supporting ERMS, 'rep stosb' would still be slightly faster, but
this is a solid stop-gap improvement
