* fbdev: Improve performance of sys_fillrect()Thomas Zimmermann2022-03-021-13/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the performance of sys_fillrect() by using word-aligned 32/64-bit mov instructions. While the code tried to implement this, the compiler failed to create fast instructions. The resulting binary instructions were even slower than cfb_fillrect(), which uses the same algorithm, but operates on I/O memory. A microbenchmark measures the average number of CPU cycles for sys_fillrect() after a stabilizing period of a few minutes (i7-4790, FullHD, simpledrm, kernel with debugging). The value for CFB is given as a reference. sys_fillrect(), new: 26586 cycles sys_fillrect(), old: 166603 cycles cfb_fillrect(): 41012 cycles In the optimized case, sys_fillrect() is now ~6x faster than before and ~1.5x faster than the CFB implementation.

* fbdev: move fbdev core files to separate directoryTomi Valkeinen2014-04-171-0/+335
Instead of having fbdev framework core files at the root fbdev directory, mixed with random fbdev device drivers, move the fbdev core files to a separate core directory. This makes it much clearer which of the files are actually part of the fbdev framework, and which are part of device drivers.
