2012-01-25	perf bench: Also allow measuring alternative memcpy implementations	Jan Beulich	1	-0/+8
	Intended to be able to support the current selection of the preferred memcpy() implementation, this patch adds the ability to also measure the two alternative implementations, again by way of using some pre-processsor replacement. While on my Westmere system this proves that the movsb based variant is worse than the movsq based one (since the ERMS feature isn't there), it also shows that here for the default as well as small sizes the unrolled variant outperforms the movsq one.

	arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S memcpy routines via 'perf bench mem' This patch ports arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S to perf bench mem memcpy for benchmarking memcpy() in userland with tricky and dirty way. util/include/asm/cpufeature.h, util/include/asm/dwarf2.h, and util/include/linux/linkage.h are mostly dummy files with small wrappers, so that we are able to include memcpy_64.S unmodified.
