                     31: | Performance
                     32: | -----------
                     33: | This routine is intended for MC 68020s but should also work
                     34: | for 68030s.  It (deliberately) doesn't worry about the alignment
                     35: | of the buffer so will only work on a 68010 if the buffer is
                     36: | aligned on an even address.  (Also, a routine written to use
                     37: | 68010 "loop mode" would almost certainly be faster than this
                     38: | code on a 68010).
                     39: |
                     40: | We don't worry about alignment because this routine is frequently
                     41: | called with small counts: 20 bytes for IP header checksums and 40
                     42: | bytes for TCP ack checksums.  For these small counts, testing for
                     43: | bad alignment adds ~10% to the per-call cost.  Since, by the nature
                     44: | of the kernel's allocator, the data we're called with is almost
                     45: | always longword aligned, there is no benefit to this added cost
                     46: | and we're better off letting the loop take a big performance hit
                     47: | in the rare cases where we're handed an unaligned buffer.
                     48: |
                     49: | Loop unrolling constants of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 times were
                     50: | tested on random data on four different types of processors (see
                     51: | list below -- 64 was the largest unrolling because anything more
                     52: | overflows the 68020 Icache).  On all the processors, the
                     53: | throughput asymptote was located between 8 and 16 (closer to 8).
                     54: | However, 16 was substantially better than 8 for small counts.
                     55: | (It's clear why this happens for a count of 40: unroll-8 pays a
                     56: | loop branch cost and unroll-16 doesn't.  But the tests also showed
                     57: | that 16 was better than 8 for a count of 20.  It's not obvious to
                     58: | me why.)  So, since 16 was good for both large and small counts,
                     59: | the loop below is unrolled 16 times.
                     60: | 
                     61: | The processors tested and their average time to checksum 1024 bytes
                     62: | of random data were:
                     63: |      Sun 3/50 (15MHz)        190 us/KB
                     64: |      Sun 3/180 (16.6MHz)     175 us/KB
                     65: |      Sun 3/60 (20MHz)        134 us/KB
                     66: |      Sun 3/280 (25MHz)        95 us/KB
                     67: | 
                     68: | The cost of calling this routine was typically 10% of the per-
                     69: | kilobyte cost.  E.g., checksumming zero bytes on a 3/60 cost 9us
                     70: | and each additional byte cost 125ns.  With the high fixed cost,
                     71: | it would clearly be a gain to "inline" this routine -- the
                     72: | subroutine call adds 400% overhead to an IP header checksum.
                     73: | However, in absolute terms, inlining would only gain 10us per
                     74: | packet -- a 1% effect for a 1ms ethernet packet.  This is not
                     75: | enough gain to be worth the effort.
