When userspace is doing most of the work, avoiding relocs (using NO_RELOC) and opting out of implicit synchronisation (using ASYNC), we still spend a lot of time processing the arrays in execbuf, even though we now should have nothing to do most of the time. One issue that becomes readily apparent in profiling anv is that iterating over the large execobj[] is unfriendly to the loop prefetchers of the CPU and it much prefers iterating over a pair of arrays rather than one big array. v2: Clear vma[] on construction to handle errors during vma lookup Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20170816085210.4199-3-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
