Blob Blame History Raw
The memmove related fix is dropped in this patch because rhel-7.5
does not have optimized memmove for POWER7.

    powerpc: Replace lxvd2x/stxvd2x with lvx/stvx in P7's memcpy/memmove
    
    POWER9 DD2.1 and earlier has an issue where some cache inhibited
    vector load traps to the kernel, causing a performance degradation.  To
    handle this in memcpy and memmove, lvx/stvx is used for aligned
    addresses instead of lxvd2x/stxvd2x.

            * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcpy.S: Replace
            lxvd2x/stxvd2x with lvx/stvx.
            * sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memmove.S: Likewise.
