[AF_UNIX]: scm: better initialization
Instead of doing a memset then initialization of the fields of the scm structure, just initialize all the members explicitly. Prevent reloading of current on x86 and x86-64 by storing the value in a local variable for subsequent dereferences. This is worth a ~7KB/s increase in af_unix bandwidth. Note that we avoid the issues surrounding potentially uninitialized members of the ucred structure by constructing a struct ucred instead of assigning the members individually, which forces the compiler to zero any padding. [ I modified the patch not to use the aggregate assignment since gcc-3.4.x and earlier cannot optimize that properly at all even though gcc-4.0.x and later can -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Benjamin LaHaise <benjamin.c.lahaise@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
