Subject[PATCH v3 7/7] x86: switch the 64bit uncached page clear to SSE/AVX v2
Date
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

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.
