Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

For memcpy, the source pages are memset to zero only when --cycles is
used. This leads to wildly different results with or without --cycles,
since all sources pages are likely to be mapped to the same zero page
without explicit writes.
Before this fix:
$ export cmd="./perf stat -e LLC-loads -- ./perf bench \
mem memcpy -s 1024MB -l 100 -f default"
$ $cmd
2,935,826 LLC-loads
3.821677452 seconds time elapsed
$ $cmd --cycles
217,533,436 LLC-loads
8.616725985 seconds time elapsed
After this fix:
$ $cmd
214,459,686 LLC-loads
8.674301124 seconds time elapsed
$ $cmd --cycles
214,758,651 LLC-loads
8.644480006 seconds time elapsed

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
