From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Add a cache avoiding version of clear_page. Straight forward integer variant
of the existing 64bit clear_page, for both 32bit and 64bit.

Also add the necessary glue for highmem including a layer that non cache
coherent architectures that use the virtual address for flushing can
hook in. This is not needed on x86 of course.

If an architecture wants to provide cache avoiding version of clear_page
it should to define ARCH_HAS_USER_NOCACHE to 1 and implement
clear_page_nocache() and clear_user_highpage_nocache().

While on 64-bit this is fine, I fail to see how you avoid using the
SSE2 instruction on non-SSE2 systems.

Couldn't this more reasonably go into clear_page_{32,64}.S?

Wrong comment.

You need to pick a different register here (e.g. %edx), since
%edi has to be preserved by all functions called from C.

Is doing twice as much unrolling as on 64-bit really worth it?

This happens on *all* my test configurations, including both x86-64 and 
i386 allyesconfig.  I suspect your patchset base is stale.

We don't have clear_page_32.S.

Moving 64 bytes per cycle is faster on Sandy Bridge, but slower on
Westmere. Any preference? ;)

Sure, but you're introducing a file anyway. Fold the new code into
the existing file for 64-bit, and create a new, similarly named one
for 32-bit.

If it's not a clear win, I'd favor the 8-stores-per-cycle variant,
matching x86-64.

You have to be careful with these benchmarks.

- You need to make sure the data is cache cold, cache hot is misleading.
- The numbers can change if you have multiple CPUs doing this in parallel.

This must still be the 32-bit version becaue it segfaults here. Here's
why:

mmap above gives a ptr which, on 64-bit, is larger than 32-bit, i.e. it
looks like 0x7fffxxxxx000, i.e. starting from top of userspace.

Now, the mov above truncates that ptr and the thing segfaults.

Doing s/edx/rdx/g fixes it though.

Thanks.

Yes, it's test for 32-bit version.
