[PATCH 1/2] arm64: mm: only perform memstart_addr sanity check if DEBUG_VM

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-22 17:46:03

Checking whether memstart_addr has been assigned every time it is
referenced adds a branch instruction that may hurt performance if
the reference in question occurs on a hot path. So only perform the
check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.

[PATCH 2/2] arm64: mm: use bit ops rather than arithmetic in pa/va translations

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-22 17:46:04

Since PAGE_OFFSET is chosen such that it cuts the kernel VA space right
in half, and since the size of the kernel VA space itself is always a
power of 2, we can treat PAGE_OFFSET as a bitmask and replace the
additions/subtractions with 'or' and 'and-not' operations.

For the comparison against PAGE_OFFSET, a mov/cmp/branch sequence ends
up getting replaced with a single tbz instruction. For the additions and
subtractions, we save a mov instruction since the mask is folded into the
instruction's immediate field.
