Documentation/vm/: Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files. This should help to prevent bitrot. This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible. Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if they should be removed. Also build the recently-added map_hugetlb.c. Make several functions static to prevent linker warnings.

* hugepage-shm:
|
|
*
|
|
* Example of using huge page memory in a user application using Sys V shared
|
|
* memory system calls. In this example the app is requesting 256MB of
|
|
* memory that is backed by huge pages. The application uses the flag
|
|
* SHM_HUGETLB in the shmget system call to inform the kernel that it is
|
|
* requesting huge pages.
|
|
*
|
|
* For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
|
|
* huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
|
|
* aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed
|
|
* address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
|
|
* range.
|
|
* Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note: The default shared memory limit is quite low on many kernels,
|
|
* you may need to increase it via:
|
|
*
|
|
* echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
|
|
*
|
|
* This will increase the maximum size per shared memory segment to 256MB.
|
|
* The other limit that you will hit eventually is shmall which is the
|
|
* total amount of shared memory in pages. To set it to 16GB on a system
|
|
* with a 4kB pagesize do:
|
|
*
|
|
* echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
