[PATCH 1/4] target/ppc/mem_helper.c: Remove a conditional from dcbz_common()
Posted by Richard Henderson 5 months, 4 weeks ago
From: BALATON Zoltan <balaton@eik.bme.hu>

Instead of passing a bool and select a value within dcbz_common() let
the callers pass in the right value to avoid this conditional
statement. On PPC dcbz is often used to zero memory and some code uses
it a lot. This change improves the run time of a test case that copies
memory with a dcbz call in every iteration from 6.23 to 5.83 seconds.
