x86: usercopy: check for total size when deciding non-temporal cutoff
Impact: make more types of copies non-temporal This change makes the following simple fix: 30d697f: x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall A bit more sophisticated: we check the 'total' number of bytes written to decide whether to copy in a cached or a non-temporal way. This will for example cause the tail (modulo 4096 bytes) chunk of a large write() to be non-temporal too - not just the page-sized chunks.
