Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/5] x86: eoi micro-optimization
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 17:04:33 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <33b3aa018de3309ce6eb1ccf51d5f91db7536fec.1334833141.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1334833140.git.mst@redhat.com>
We know both register and value for eoi beforehand,
so there's no need to check it and no need to do math
to calculate the msr. Saves instructions/branches
on each EOI when using x2apic.
I checked the generated code to verify that it
actually is shorter, but haven't done any
performance testing. What's appropriate here
and what kind of test makes the most sense?
