[v7,7/8] RISC-V: Report vector unaligned access speed hwprobe

Commit Message

Jesse Taube July 26, 2024, 4:37 p.m. UTC

Detect if vector misaligned accesses are faster or slower than
equivalent vector byte accesses. This is useful for usermode to know
whether vector byte accesses or vector misaligned accesses have a better
bandwidth for operations like memcpy.

V1 -> V2:
 - Add Kconfig options
 - Add WORD_EEW to vec-copy-unaligned.S
V2 -> V3:
 - Remove unnecessary comment
 - Remove local_irq_enable
V3 -> V4:
 - Add preempt_disable/enable
 - Alphabetize includes in vec-copy-unaligned.S and unaligned_access_speed.c
 - Add duplicate comments above mb() to please checkpatch
 - change all_cpus_vec_supported to all_cpus_vec_unsupported
    so speed is tested if any cpus support unaligned vector accesses
 - Spell out _VECTOR_ in macros
V4 -> V5:
 - Change void *unused to void *unused __always_unused
V5 -> V6:
 - Check for vector misaligned access support in hotplug
V6 -> V7:
 - Change SLOW to UNKNOWN when used as a placeholder
