Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: Improve armv7 memcpy performance.
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 15:09:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5220B5A1.40903@linaro.org> (raw)


Only enter the aligned copy loop with buffers that can be 8-byte
aligned. This improves performance slightly on Cortex-A9 and
Cortex-A15 cores for large copies with buffers that are 4-byte
aligned but not 8-byte aligned.

	* sysdeps/arm/armv7/multiarch/memcpy_impl.S: Tighten check
	on entry to aligned copy loop to improve performance.
