x86/boot/64: Optimize fixmap page fixup
Single-stepping through head_64.S made me look at the fixmap page PTEs
fixup loop:
So we're going through the whole level2_fixmap_pgt 4K page, looking at
whether PAGE_PRESENT is set in those PTEs and add the delta between
where we're compiled to run and where we actually end up running.
However, if that delta is 0 (most cases) we go through all those 512
PTEs for no reason at all. Oh well, we add 0 but that's no reason to me.
Skipping that useless fixup gives us a boot speedup of 0.004 seconds in
my guest. Not a lot but considering how cheap it is, I'll take it. Here
is the printk time difference:
before:
...
[ 0.000000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized
[ 0.013590] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency..
8027.17 BogoMIPS (lpj=16054348)
[ 0.017094] pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
...
after:
...
[ 0.000000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to TSCs unsynchronized
[ 0.009587] Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency..
8026.86 BogoMIPS (lpj=16053724)
[ 0.013090] pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301
...
For the other two changes converting naked numbers to defines:
