From ff60fab71bb3b4fdbf8caf57ff3739ffd0887396 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:21:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Use __builtin_memset and __builtin_memcpy for memset/memcpy GCC provides reasonable memset/memcpy functions itself, with __builtin_memset and __builtin_memcpy. For the "unknown" cases, it'll fall back to our current existing functions, but for fixed size versions it'll inline something smart. Quite often that will be the same as we have now, but sometimes it can do something smarter (for example, if the code then sets the first member of a struct, it can do a shorter memset). In addition, and this is more important, gcc knows which registers and such are not clobbered (while for our asm version it pretty much acts like a compiler barrier), so for various cases it can avoid reloading values. The effect on codesize is shown below on my typical laptop .config: text data bss dec hex filename 5605675 2041100 6525148 14171923 d83f13 vmlinux.before 5595849 2041668 6525148 14162665 d81ae9 vmlinux.after Due to some not-so-good behavior in the gcc 3.x series, this change is only done for GCC 4.x and above.
