[Intel-gfx] x86: Static optimisations for copy_user

[Chris Wilson]

I was looking at the overhead of drmIoctl() in a microbenchmark that
repeatedly did a copy_from_user(.size=8) followed by a
copy_to_user(.size=8) as part of the DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_BUSY. I found
that if I forced inlined the get_user/put_user instead the walltime of
the ioctl was improved by about 20%. If copy_user_generic_unrolled was
used instead of copy_user_enhanced_fast_string, performance of the
microbenchmark was improved by 10%. Benchmarking on a few machines

which says that for this cache hot case in benchmarking the rep mov
microcode noticeably underperforms. Though once we pass a few
cachelines, and definitely after exceeding L1 cache, rep mov is the
clear winner. From cold, there is no difference in timings.

I can improve the microbenchmark by either force inlining the
raw_copy_*_user switches, or by switching to copy_user_generic_unrolled.
Both leave a sour taste. The switch is too big to be inlined, and if
called out-of-line the function call overhead negates its benefits.
Switching between fast-string and unrolled makes a presumption on
behaviour.

In the end, I limited this series to just adding a few extra
translations for statically known copy_*_user().
