One time result isn't stable enough, so I did 9 runs for each commit,
here is the result:

base: 25364a9e54fb8296837061bf684b76d20eec01fb
head: 7433b1009ff5a02e1e9f3444802daba2cf385d27
(head = base + this_patch_serie)

The always-always case(transparent_hugepage set to always and defrag set
to always):
