Add a little strncpy optimization which can easily cut boot time by 20%. When the kernel is booting with initramfs, it builds up the filesystem from a cpio archive by calling strncpy_from_user() via fs/namei.c's do_getname() on every file in the archive (which can be lots) with a length of PATH_MAX (1024). This causes the dest of the strncpy to be padded with many NUL bytes. This optimization mostly causes these NUL bytes to be padded with a call to memset() which is already optimized for filling memory quickly, but the hardware loop helps a little bit as well. Boot time measured with 'loglevel=0' so UART speed doesn't get in the way. Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <robin.getz@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> |
