Currently mx53 (CortexA8) running at 1GHz reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 663.55 BogoMIPS (lpj=3317760)
Tom Evans verified that alignments of 0x0 and 0x8 run the two instructions of __loop_delay in one clock cycle (1 clock/loop), while alignments of 0x4 and 0xc take 3 clocks to run the loop twice. (1.5 clock/loop)
The original object code looks like this:
00000010 <__loop_const_udelay>:
10: e3e01000 mvn r1, #0
14: e51f201c ldr r2, [pc, #-28] ; 0 <__loop_udelay-0x8>
18: e5922000 ldr r2, [r2]
1c: e0800921 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #18
20: e1a00720 lsr r0, r0, #14
24: e0822b21 add r2, r2, r1, lsr #22
28: e1a02522 lsr r2, r2, #10
2c: e0000092 mul r0, r2, r0
30: e0800d21 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #26
34: e1b00320 lsrs r0, r0, #6
38: 01a0f00e moveq pc, lr
0000003c <__loop_delay>:
3c: e2500001 subs r0, r0, #1
40: 8afffffe bhi 3c <__loop_delay>
44: e1a0f00e mov pc, lr
After adding the 'align 3' directive to __loop_delay (align to 8 bytes):
00000010 <__loop_const_udelay>:
10: e3e01000 mvn r1, #0
14: e51f201c ldr r2, [pc, #-28] ; 0 <__loop_udelay-0x8>
18: e5922000 ldr r2, [r2]
1c: e0800921 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #18
20: e1a00720 lsr r0, r0, #14
24: e0822b21 add r2, r2, r1, lsr #22
28: e1a02522 lsr r2, r2, #10
2c: e0000092 mul r0, r2, r0
30: e0800d21 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #26
34: e1b00320 lsrs r0, r0, #6
38: 01a0f00e moveq pc, lr
3c: e320f000 nop {0}
00000040 <__loop_delay>:
40: e2500001 subs r0, r0, #1
44: 8afffffe bhi 40 <__loop_delay>
48: e1a0f00e mov pc, lr
4c: e320f000 nop {0}
, which now reports:
Calibrating delay loop... 996.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=4980736)
Some more test results:
On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz, before the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 351.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=1757184)
On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch:
Calibrating delay loop... 528.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=2643968)
Also tested on mx6 (CortexA9) and on mx27 (ARM926), which shows the same
BogoMIPS value before and after this patch.
