      mm/rmap.c: make page_referenced_one() and try_to_unmap_one() static · ac769501
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      KSM was converted to use rmap_walk() and now nobody uses these functions
      outside mm/rmap.c.
      
      Let's covert them back to static.

      mm: shrinker trace points: fix negatives · 7fe70475
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      I was looking at a trace of the slab shrinkers (attachment in this comment):
      
      	https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72742#c67
      
      and noticed that "total_scan" can go negative in some cases.  We
      used to dump out the "total_scan" variable directly, but some of
      the shrinker modifications along the way changed that.
      
      This patch just dumps it out directly, again.  It doesn't make
      any sense to derive it from new_nr and nr any more since there
      are now other shrinkers that can be running in parallel and
      mucking with those values.
      
      Here's an example of the negative numbers in the output:

      mm/dmapool.c: remove redundant NULL check for dev in dma_pool_create() · cc6b664a
      Daeseok Youn 提交于
      "dev" cannot be NULL because it is already checked before calling
      dma_pool_create().
      
      If dev ever was NULL, the code would oops in dev_to_node() after enabling
      CONFIG_NUMA.
      
      It is possible that some driver is using dev==NULL and has never been run
      on a NUMA machine.  Such a driver is probably outdated, possibly buggy and
      will need some attention if it starts triggering NULL derefs.

      Currently, in put_compound_page(), we have

                       ¦* split_huge_page cannot run anymore from under us.
                       ¦*/
                       if (PageHead(page))
                               __put_compound_page(page);
                       else
                               __put_single_page(page);
               }
               return;
      }
      
      /* __split_huge_page_refcount can run under us */
      page_head = compound_head(page);        <------------ (2)
      ======
      
      if at (1) ,  we fail the check, this means page is *likely* a tail page.
      
      Then at (2), as compoud_head(page) is inlined, it is :
      
      ======
      static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page)
      {
                if (unlikely(PageTail(page))) {           <----------- (3)
                    struct page *head = page->first_page;
      
                      smp_rmb();
                      if (likely(PageTail(page)))
                              return head;
              }
              return page;
      }
      ======
      
      here, the (3) unlikely in the case is a negative hint, because it is
      *likely* a tail page.  So the check (3) in this case is not good, so I
      introduce a helper for this case.
      
      So this patch introduces compound_head_by_tail() which deals with a
      possible tail page(though it could be spilt by a racy thread), and make
      compound_head() a wrapper on it.
      
      This patch has no functional change, and it reduces the object
      size slightly:
         text    data     bss     dec     hex  filename
        11003    1328      16   12347    303b  mm/swap.o.orig
        10971    1328      16   12315    301b  mm/swap.o.patched
      
      I've ran "perf top -e branch-miss" to observe branch-miss in this case.
      As Michael points out, it's a slow path, so only very few times this case
      happens.  But I grep'ed the code base, and found there still are some
      other call sites could be benifited from this helper.  And given that it
      only bloating up the source by only 5 lines, but with a reduced object
      size.  I still believe this helper deserves to exsit.

      mm/swap.c: split put_compound_page() · 4bd3e8f7
      Jianyu Zhan 提交于
      Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
      racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
      lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
      quite hard to follow and maintain.
      
      Now based on two helpers introduced in the previous patch ("mm/swap.c:
      introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for spliting
      put_compound_page"), this patch replaces those two lengthy code paths with
      these two helpers, respectively.  Also, it has some comment rephrasing.
      
      After this patch, the put_compound_page() is very compact, thus easy to
      read and maintain.
      
      After splitting, the object file is of same size as the original one.
      Actually, I've diff'ed put_compound_page()'s orginal disassemble code and
      the patched disassemble code, the are 100% the same!
      
      This fact shows that this splitting has no functional change, but it
      brings readability.
      
      This patch and the previous one blow the code by 32 lines, mostly due to
      comments.

      mm/swap.c: introduce put_[un]refcounted_compound_page helpers for splitting put_compound_page() · c747ce79
      Jianyu Zhan 提交于
      Currently, put_compound_page() carefully handles tricky cases to avoid
      racing with compound page releasing or splitting, which makes it quite
      lenthy (about 200+ lines) and needs deep tab indention, which makes it
      quite hard to follow and maintain.
      
      This patch and the next patch refactor this function.
      
      Based on the code skeleton of put_compound_page:
      
      put_compound_pge:
              if !PageTail(page)
              	put head page fastpath;
      		return;
      
              /* else PageTail */
              page_head = compound_head(page)
              if !__compound_tail_refcounted(page_head)
      		put head page optimal path; <---(1)
      		return;
              else
      		put head page slowpath; <--- (2)
                      return;
      
      This patch introduces two helpers, put_[un]refcounted_compound_page,
      handling the code path (1) and code path (2), respectively.  They both are
      tagged __always_inline, thus elmiating function call overhead, making them
      operating the same way as before.
      
      They are almost copied verbatim(except one place, a "goto out_put_single"
      is expanded), with some comments rephrasing.

      mm/vmscan.c: avoid throttling reclaim for loop-back nfsd threads · 399ba0b9
      NeilBrown 提交于
      When a loopback NFS mount is active and the backing device for the NFS
      mount becomes congested, that can impose throttling delays on the nfsd
      threads.
      
      These delays significantly reduce throughput and so the NFS mount remains
      congested.
      
      This results in a livelock and the reduced throughput persists.
      
      This livelock has been found in testing with the 'wait_iff_congested'
      call, and could possibly be caused by the 'congestion_wait' call.
      
      This livelock is similar to the deadlock which justified the introduction
      of PF_LESS_THROTTLE, and the same flag can be used to remove this
      livelock.
      
      To minimise the impact of the change, we still throttle nfsd when the
      filesystem it is writing to is congested, but not when some separate
      filesystem (e.g.  the NFS filesystem) is congested.

      mm: numa: add migrated transhuge pages to LRU the same way as base pages · 11de9927
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Migration of misplaced transhuge pages uses page_add_new_anon_rmap() when
      putting the page back as it avoided an atomic operations and added the new
      page to the correct LRU.  A side-effect is that the page gets marked
      activated as part of the migration meaning that transhuge and base pages
      are treated differently from an aging perspective than base page
      migration.
      
      This patch uses page_add_anon_rmap() and putback_lru_page() on completion
      of a transhuge migration similar to base page migration.  It would require
      fewer atomic operations to use lru_cache_add without taking an additional
      reference to the page.  The downside would be that it's still different to
      base page migration and unevictable pages may be added to the wrong LRU
      for cleaning up later.  Testing of the usual workloads did not show any
      adverse impact to the change.

      memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme · bd673145
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
      memcg kmem caches:
      
       - slab_mutex.  This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
         and destruction paths.  We also take it when updating per root cache
         memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches).  As a result, taking
         it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
         memcg).  Why do we need something else then?  The point is it is
         private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
         other mutexes (get_online_cpus).  So we just don't want to rely upon it
         and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.
      
       - activate_kmem_mutex.  Initially it was added to synchronize
         initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem).  However, since we can
         grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
         initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
         protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g.  see
         __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).
      
       - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
         want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g.  for
         destroying all memcg caches on offline).  So we have per memcg
         slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.
      
      The mutexes are taken in the following order:
      
         activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex
      
      Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:
      
       - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
         memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order.  As a result, in
         mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
         memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.
      
       - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
         between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
         destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).  Currently we just
         don't bother about it.
      
      This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
      with the global memcg_slab_mutex.  It will be held whenever a new per
      memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
      memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists.  The locking
      order is following:
      
         activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex
      
      This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
      memcg_slab_mutex.  As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
      work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
      memcg slab caches list.
      
      Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
      per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g.  mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
      vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.
      
      The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
      with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
      slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
      shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

      memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes away · 1e32e77f
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting.  It
      targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization.
      
      First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2).
      Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline.  That means the caches
      that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked.  However, they are
      already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops
      to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink
      is called explicitly.  In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches
      on vmpressure or periodically.
      
      Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global
      memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache
      creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3).  This
      greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache
      creation/destruction paths.
      
      I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know
      whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to
      merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for
      more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a
      reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows
      and eases further development.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted
      right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the
      memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule
      cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab
      of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero).
      
      I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e.
      immediately after freeing the last object.  However, it just doesn't work
      that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of
      performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is
      shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink.  Of course, we could account
      the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs
      allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule
      destruction if so, but that would be too costly.
      
      Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call
      kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot.  Moreover,
      it's racy in fact.  For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab
      and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the
      cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free.
      
      So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from
      memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after
      calling kmem_cache_shrink instead.  This will simplify things a lot w/o
      introducing any functional changes.
      
      And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e.  those that are left hanging around
      after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them
      either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially.  I'm
      going to implement this later.

      memcg: do not hang on OOM when killed by userspace OOM access to memory reserves · d8dc595c
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Eric has reported that he can see task(s) stuck in memcg OOM handler
      regularly.  The only way out is to
      
      	echo 0 > $GROUP/memory.oom_control
      
      His usecase is:
      
      - Setup a hierarchy with memory and the freezer (disable kernel oom and
        have a process watch for oom).
      
      - In that memory cgroup add a process with one thread per cpu.
      
      - In one thread slowly allocate once per second I think it is 16M of ram
        and mlock and dirty it (just to force the pages into ram and stay
        there).
      
      - When oom is achieved loop:
        * attempt to freeze all of the tasks.
        * if frozen send every task SIGKILL, unfreeze, remove the directory in
          cgroupfs.
      
      Eric has then pinpointed the issue to be memcg specific.
      
      All tasks are sitting on the memcg_oom_waitq when memcg oom is disabled.
      Those that have received fatal signal will bypass the charge and should
      continue on their way out.  The tricky part is that the exit path might
      trigger a page fault (e.g.  exit_robust_list), thus the memcg charge,
      while its memcg is still under OOM because nobody has released any charges
      yet.
      
      Unlike with the in-kernel OOM handler the exiting task doesn't get
      TIF_MEMDIE set so it doesn't shortcut further charges of the killed task
      and falls to the memcg OOM again without any way out of it as there are no
      fatal signals pending anymore.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by checking PF_EXITING early in
      mem_cgroup_try_charge and bypass the charge same as if it had fatal
      signal pending or TIF_MEMDIE set.
      
      Normally exiting tasks (aka not killed) will bypass the charge now but
      this should be OK as the task is leaving and will release memory and
      increasing the memory pressure just to release it in a moment seems
      dubious wasting of cycles.  Besides that charges after exit_signals should
      be rare.
      
      I am bringing this patch again (rebased on the current mmotm tree). I
      hope we can move forward finally. If there is still an opposition then
      I would really appreciate a concurrent approach so that we can discuss
      alternatives.
      
      http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.stable/77650 is a reference
      to the followup discussion when the patch has been dropped from the mmotm
      last time.

      mm: vmscan: do not throttle based on pfmemalloc reserves if node has no ZONE_NORMAL · 675becce
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      throttle_direct_reclaim() is meant to trigger during swap-over-network
      during which the min watermark is treated as a pfmemalloc reserve.  It
      throttes on the first node in the zonelist but this is flawed.
      
      The user-visible impact is that a process running on CPU whose local
      memory node has no ZONE_NORMAL will stall for prolonged periods of time,
      possibly indefintely.  This is due to throttle_direct_reclaim thinking the
      pfmemalloc reserves are depleted when in fact they don't exist on that
      node.
      
      On a NUMA machine running a 32-bit kernel (I know) allocation requests
      from CPUs on node 1 would detect no pfmemalloc reserves and the process
      gets throttled.  This patch adjusts throttling of direct reclaim to
      throttle based on the first node in the zonelist that has a usable
      ZONE_NORMAL or lower zone.

      mm/page_alloc: prevent MIGRATE_RESERVE pages from being misplaced · 5bcc9f86
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      For the MIGRATE_RESERVE pages, it is useful when they do not get
      misplaced on free_list of other migratetype, otherwise they might get
      allocated prematurely and e.g.  fragment the MIGRATE_RESEVE pageblocks.
      While this cannot be avoided completely when allocating new
      MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks in min_free_kbytes sysctl handler, we should
      prevent the misplacement where possible.
      
      Currently, it is possible for the misplacement to happen when a
      MIGRATE_RESERVE page is allocated on pcplist through rmqueue_bulk() as a
      fallback for other desired migratetype, and then later freed back
      through free_pcppages_bulk() without being actually used.  This happens
      because free_pcppages_bulk() uses get_freepage_migratetype() to choose
      the free_list, and rmqueue_bulk() calls set_freepage_migratetype() with
      the *desired* migratetype and not the page's original MIGRATE_RESERVE
      migratetype.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by moving the call to
      set_freepage_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() down to
      __rmqueue_smallest() and __rmqueue_fallback() where the actual page's
      migratetype (e.g.  from which free_list the page is taken from) is used.
      Note that this migratetype might be different from the pageblock's
      migratetype due to freepage stealing decisions.  This is OK, as page
      stealing never uses MIGRATE_RESERVE as a fallback, and also takes care
      to leave all MIGRATE_CMA pages on the correct freelist.
      
      Therefore, as an additional benefit, the call to
      get_pageblock_migratetype() from rmqueue_bulk() when CMA is enabled, can
      be removed completely.  This relies on the fact that MIGRATE_CMA
      pageblocks are created only during system init, and the above.  The
      related is_migrate_isolate() check is also unnecessary, as memory
      isolation has other ways to move pages between freelists, and drain pcp
      lists containing pages that should be isolated.  The buffered_rmqueue()
      can also benefit from calling get_freepage_migratetype() instead of
      get_pageblock_migratetype().

      slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} · 03afc0e2
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
      for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
      register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
      corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.
      
      To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
      the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
      kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
      because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
      kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
      instance, in case of slub:
      
          CPU0                            CPU1
          ----                            ----
          kmem_cache_create:              online_pages:
           __kmem_cache_create:            slab_memory_callback:
                                            slab_mem_going_online_callback:
                                             lock slab_mutex
                                             for each slab_caches list entry
                                                 allocate kmem_cache node
                                             unlock slab_mutex
            lock slab_mutex
            init_kmem_cache_nodes:
             for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
                 allocate kmem_cache node
            add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
            unlock slab_mutex
                                          online_pages (continued):
                                           node_states_set_node
      
      As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
      allocated.
      
      To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
      the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
      deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.
      
      Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
      for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

      mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems · bfc8c901
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of
      cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node
      kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem
      hotplug.  To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use
      {get,put}_online_cpus.  However, they do nothing to synchronize with
      memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the
      possibility of race as described in patch 2.
      
      What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory.
      We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but
      it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex.  As a
      result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not
      desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus.  That's why in
      patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly
      like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug.
      
      [ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68.  I NAK'ed it by
        myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems,
        making them dead lock prune.  ]
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      {un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory
      hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a
      hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes
      mask won't be able to proceed concurrently.  Also, it imposes some
      strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its
      usage scenarios.
      
      This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as
      get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e.  executing a code
      inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of
      online nodes, present pages, etc.
      
      lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

      pgdat->reclaim_nodes tracks if a remote node is allowed to be reclaimed
      by zone_reclaim due to its distance.  As it is expected that
      zone_reclaim_mode will be rarely enabled it is unreasonable for all
      machines to take a penalty.  Fortunately, the zone_reclaim_mode() path
      is already slow and it is the path that takes the hit.

      mm: disable zone_reclaim_mode by default · 4f9b16a6
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      When it was introduced, zone_reclaim_mode made sense as NUMA distances
      punished and workloads were generally partitioned to fit into a NUMA
      node.  NUMA machines are now common but few of the workloads are
      NUMA-aware and it's routine to see major performance degradation due to
      zone_reclaim_mode being enabled but relatively few can identify the
      problem.
      
      Those that require zone_reclaim_mode are likely to be able to detect
      when it needs to be enabled and tune appropriately so lets have a
      sensible default for the bulk of users.
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      zone_reclaim_mode causes processes to prefer reclaiming memory from
      local node instead of spilling over to other nodes.  This made sense
      initially when NUMA machines were almost exclusively HPC and the
      workload was partitioned into nodes.  The NUMA penalties were
      sufficiently high to justify reclaiming the memory.  On current machines
      and workloads it is often the case that zone_reclaim_mode destroys
      performance but not all users know how to detect this.  Favour the
      common case and disable it by default.  Users that are sophisticated
      enough to know they need zone_reclaim_mode will detect it.

      hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime · 944d9fec
      Luiz Capitulino 提交于
      HugeTLB is limited to allocating hugepages whose size are less than
      MAX_ORDER order.  This is so because HugeTLB allocates hugepages via the
      buddy allocator.  Gigantic pages (that is, pages whose size is greater
      than MAX_ORDER order) have to be allocated at boottime.
      
      However, boottime allocation has at least two serious problems.  First,
      it doesn't support NUMA and second, gigantic pages allocated at boottime
      can't be freed.
      
      This commit solves both issues by adding support for allocating gigantic
      pages during runtime.  It works just like regular sized hugepages,
      meaning that the interface in sysfs is the same, it supports NUMA, and
      gigantic pages can be freed.
      
      For example, on x86_64 gigantic pages are 1GB big. To allocate two 1G
      gigantic pages on node 1, one can do:
      
       # echo 2 > \
         /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
      
      And to free them all:
      
       # echo 0 > \
         /sys/devices/system/node/node1/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages
      
      The one problem with gigantic page allocation at runtime is that it
      can't be serviced by the buddy allocator.  To overcome that problem,
      this commit scans all zones from a node looking for a large enough
      contiguous region.  When one is found, it's allocated by using CMA, that
      is, we call alloc_contig_range() to do the actual allocation.  For
      example, on x86_64 we scan all zones looking for a 1GB contiguous
      region.  When one is found, it's allocated by alloc_contig_range().
      
      One expected issue with that approach is that such gigantic contiguous
      regions tend to vanish as runtime goes by.  The best way to avoid this
      for now is to make gigantic page allocations very early during system
      boot, say from a init script.  Other possible optimization include using
      compaction, which is supported by CMA but is not explicitly used by this
      commit.
      
      It's also important to note the following:
      
       1. Gigantic pages allocated at boottime by the hugepages= command-line
          option can be freed at runtime just fine
      
       2. This commit adds support for gigantic pages only to x86_64. The
          reason is that I don't have access to nor experience with other archs.
          The code is arch indepedent though, so it should be simple to add
          support to different archs
      
       3. I didn't add support for hugepage overcommit, that is allocating
          a gigantic page on demand when
         /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0. The reason is that I don't
         think it's reasonable to do the hard and long work required for
         allocating a gigantic page at fault time. But it should be simple
         to add this if wanted
