[RFC v1 2/2] VS1544 KSM s390-specific memory comparison functions

Show all headers | View raw

Introduce s390 specific page comparison and checksumming functions:

The s390-specific functions use the CKSM instruction to quickly
calculate the checksum of a page.

This provides a measurable reduction on CPU load when KSM is active.
