ksm use jhash2 for hashing pages, in 4.14 xxhash has been merged to mainline kernel.
xxhash much faster then jhash2 on big inputs (32 byte+)
xxhash has 2 versions, one with 32-bit hash and one with 64-bit hash.
64-bit version works faster then 32-bit on 64-bit arch.
So lets get better from two worlds, create arch dependent xxhash() function that will use fastest algo for current arch. This a first patch.
Performance info and ksm update can be found in second patch.
Changelog: v1 -> v2: - Move xxhash() to xxhash.h/c and separate patches
