x86, mem: memmove_64.S: Optimize memmove by enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB 2011-05-17T22:40:30+00:00 Fenghua Yu fenghua.yu@intel.com 2011-05-17T22:29:17+00:00 057e05c1d6440117875f455e59da8691e08f65d5 Support memmove() by enhanced rep movsb. On processors supporting enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, the alternative memmove() function using enhanced rep movsb overrides the original function. The patch doesn't change the backward memmove case to use enhanced rep movsb.

x86-64, mem: Convert memmove() to assembly file and fix return value bug 2011-01-26T00:58:39+00:00 Fenghua Yu fenghua.yu@intel.com 2011-01-18T01:39:15+00:00 9599ec0471deae24044241e2173090d2cbc0e899 memmove_64.c only implements memmove() function which is completely written in inline assembly code. Therefore it doesn't make sense to keep the assembly code in .c file. Currently memmove() doesn't store return value to rax. This may cause issue if caller uses the return value. The patch fixes this issue. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1295314755-6625-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.
