Add LSX and LASX implementations of xor operations, operating on 64 bytes (one L1 cache line) at a time, for a balance between memory utilization and instruction mix. Huacai confirmed that all future LoongArch implementations by Loongson (that we care) will likely also feature 64-byte cache lines, and experiments show no throughput improvement with further unrolling. Performance numbers measured during system boot on a 3A5000 @ 2.5GHz: > 8regs : 12702 MB/sec > 8regs_prefetch : 10920 MB/sec > 32regs : 12686 MB/sec > 32regs_prefetch : 10918 MB/sec > lsx : 17589 MB/sec > lasx : 26116 MB/sec Acked-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: WANG Xuerui <git@xen0n.name> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
