| 2012-07-09 | ARM: 7450/1: dcache: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for little-endian ARMv6+ CPUs | Will Deacon | |
| DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS uses the word-at-a-time API for optimised string comparisons in the vfs layer. This patch implements support for load_unaligned_zeropad for ARM CPUs with native support for unaligned memory accesses (v6+) when running little-endian.

| 2012-07-09 | ARM: 7449/1: use generic strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions | Will Deacon | |
| This patch implements the word-at-a-time interface for ARM using the same algorithm as x86. We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.
