From 8a18cc0c2c36ee49d70a620ac0190d30897c15fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 22:35:40 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Only disable HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on POWER7 little endian POWER8 handles unaligned accesses in little endian mode, but commit 0b5e6661ac69 ("powerpc: Don't set HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on little endian builds") disabled it for all. The issue with unaligned little endian accesses is specific to POWER7, so update the Kconfig check to match. Using the stat() testcase from commit a75c380c7129 ("powerpc: Enable DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS on ppc64le"), performance improves 15% on POWER8.
