[PATCH v3 0/2] clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: improve performance a bit

From: Jisheng Zhang
Date: Wed Nov 25 2015 - 10:52:38 EST


These two patches try to improve the dw_apb_timer clocksource/clockevent
performance.

since v2:
- only use relaxed version in critical path
- inline apbt_readl/apbt_writel
- add some performance numbers

since v1:
- correct the wrong sentence in commit msg about writel performance on
CA9 with outer L2 cache. Thank Arnd for pointing out this in another
thread.

Jisheng Zhang (2):
clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Inline apbt_readl and apbt_writel
clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Use {readl|writel}_relaxed in
critical path
