From a198996c7afae0097c67a61851f19863e59697b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2013 15:33:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf bench: Fix memcpy benchmark for large sizes The glibc calloc() function has an optimization to not explicitely memset() very large calloc allocations that just came from mmap(), because they are known to be zero. This could result in the perf memcpy benchmark reading only from the zero page, which gives unrealistic results. Always call memset explicitly on the source area to avoid this problem.
