riscv: select DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS for efficient unaligned access HW
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 in much the same way as has been done for arm64. Here is the test program and step: $ cat tt.c #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #define ITERATIONS 1000000 #define PATH "123456781234567812345678123456781" int main(void) { unsigned long i; struct stat buf; for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) stat(PATH, &buf); return 0; } $ gcc -O2 tt.c $ touch 123456781234567812345678123456781 $ time ./a.out Per my test on T-HEAD C910 platforms, the above test performance is improved by about 7.5%.
