From ff47ab4ff3cddfa7bc1b25b990e24abe2ae474ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2013 14:17:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Add 1/2/4/8 byte optimization to 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic The 64bit __copy_{from,to}_user_inatomic always called copy_from_user_generic, but skipped the special optimizations for 1/2/4/8 byte accesses. This especially hurts the futex call, which accesses the 4 byte futex user value with a complicated fast string operation in a function call, instead of a single movl. Use __copy_{from,to}_user for _inatomic instead to get the same optimizations. The only problem was the might_fault() in those functions. So move that to new wrapper and call __copy_{f,t}_user_nocheck() from *_inatomic directly. 32bit already did this correctly by duplicating the code.
