Vincent Whitchurch 45989801d7 perf bench mem: Always memset source before memcpy 
[ Upstream commit 1beaef29c3 ]

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.
