Besides software controlled SPI transfers (UMA, "user mode access"), FIU also supports a 16 MiB mapping window per attached flash chip. This patch implements direct mapped read access, to speed up flash reads. Without direct mapping: # time dd if=/dev/mtd0ro of=dump bs=1M 16+0 records in 16+0 records out real 1m 47.74s user 0m 0.00s sys 1m 47.75s With direct mapping: # time dd if=/dev/mtd0ro of=dump bs=1M 16+0 records in 16+0 records out real 0m 30.81s user 0m 0.00s sys 0m 30.81s Signed-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221124191400.287918-4-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
