Subject[PATCH 0/1] mm: FAULT_AROUND_ORDER patchset performance data for powerpc
Date
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER values from 4 socket
Power7 system (128 Threads and 128GB memory) is below. Fault around order (FAO)
value of 3 looks more advantageous.

FAULT_AROUND_ORDER Baseline 1 3 4 5 7

Linux build (make -j64)
minor-faults 7184385 5874015 4567289 4318518 4193815 4159193
times in seconds 61.433776136 60.865935292 59.245368038 60.630675011 60.56587624 59.828271924

Linux rebuild (make -j64)
minor-faults 303018 226392 146170 132480 126878 126236

Two synthetic tests: access every word in file in sequential/random order.
Marginal Performance gains seen for FAO value of 3 when compared to value
of 4.

Worst case scenario: we touch one page every 16M to demonstrate overhead.

Touch only one page in page table in 16GiB file
