Subject: [PATCH] x86: cache pollution aware __copy_from_user_ll()
Use the x86 cache-bypassing copy instructions for copy_from_user().
Some performance data are
Total of GLOBAL_POWER_EVENTS (CPU cycle samples)
2.6.12.4.orig 1921587
2.6.12.4.nt 1599424
1599424/1921587=83.23% (16.77% reduction)
BSQ_CACHE_REFERENCE (L3 cache miss)
2.6.12.4.orig 57427
2.6.12.4.nt 20858
20858/57427=36.32% (63.7% reduction)
L3 cache miss reduction of __copy_from_user_ll
samples %
37408 65.1412 vmlinux __copy_from_user_ll
23 0.1103 vmlinux __copy_user_zeroing_intel_nocache
23/37408=0.061% (99.94% reduction)
Top 5 of 2.6.12.4.nt

iozone results are
original 2.6.12.4 CPU time = 207.768 sec
cache aware CPU time = 184.783 sec
(three times run)
184.783/207.768=88.94% (11.06% reduction)
