Re: [RFC][mmotm][PATCH] percpu mm struct counter cache

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>]

This is a test program for measuring page fault cost, I used.
This program creates threads on cpu 0,4,8,....(because I use 4code cpu)
and cause page faults on each cpu in parallel.
If you run too many threads, spin_lock costs will dominates all...
I used just 2 threads in measurements, cpu 0 and 4.
