From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> With multiple threads vector stores are more efficient, so use them. This will cause the page clear to run non preemptable and add some overhead. However on 32bit it was already non preempable (due to kmap_atomic) and there is an preemption opportunity every 4K unit. On a NPB (Nasa Parallel Benchmark) 128GB run on a Westmere this improves the performance regression of enabling transparent huge pages by ~2% (2.81% to 0.81%), near the runtime variability now. On a system with AVX support more is expected. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Properly save/restore arguments] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
