[mm PATCH v3 1/6] mm: Use mm_zero_struct_page from SPARC on all 64b architectures

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Mon Oct 15 2018 - 16:27:01 EST


This change makes it so that we use the same approach that was already in
use on Sparc on all the archtectures that support a 64b long.

This is mostly motivated by the fact that 8 to 10 store/move instructions
are likely always going to be faster than having to call into a function
that is not specialized for handling page init.

An added advantage to doing it this way is that the compiler can get away
with combining writes in the __init_single_page call. As a result the
memset call will be reduced to only about 4 write operations, or at least
that is what I am seeing with GCC 6.2 as the flags, LRU poitners, and
count/mapcount seem to be cancelling out at least 4 of the 8 assignments on
my system.

One change I had to make to the function was to reduce the minimum page
size to 56 to support some powerpc64 configurations.
