I am worried about this change. I added SPARC optimized mm_zero_struct_page() specifically to SPARC because it has a poor performance with small memset()s, since it uses STBI instructions. However, other architectures might not suffer with small memset()s, and have hardware optimized memset variants for small sizes. Don't forget, this is a leaf routine on most arches, so the function call should be cheap. Also, the macro itself is not very flexible: when size of struct page is changed, it also must be modified (we could add fall throughs though), I would add this macro only to those arches that benefit from this change, in other words, I would like to see performance data. I will review the rest of the patches in this series on Monday.

Well in the case of x86 the call to memset is expensive as well. In most cases it is 16 cycles plus 1 cycle per 16 bytes if I recall correctly. So for example in the case of skbuff which was a little over 192 bytes I know Jesper Brouer and myself were going back and forth with the idea of if we should try to do something similar. I'm suspecting for the 64b architectures impacted by this change there should be little to no negative impact. The main reason for that being the fact that the compiler can actually drop some of the writes by merging them with the later assignments.

Still, lets get some real data, please provide Intel data before vs after. I could test on an ARM processor.

For the test system I had I was initializing 384GB of RAM per node, the average time per node dropped from 1.8s to 1.1s after this patch. In the case of the persistent memory on the system the initialization time for 3TB per node dropped from 24.8s to 23.8s on average. I saw similar results on my development system though I don't recall the exact amount, it was something like 640ms down to 470ms or so.

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.
