From dba6bb60043ed73abca8990f237db63a8cea6c50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 14:25:17 +0100 Subject: s390/mm: optimize copy_page Always use the mvcl instruction to copy a page instead of mvpg or a couple of mvc instructions. Copying a huge page is 25% faster this way. Also bypass caches when copying pages since only parts of a page will be used afterwards. Especially when copying a huge page this would kick everything out of the L1 and L2 data caches on a zEC12 machine.
