Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v13. This patchset makes uprobe aware of THPs. Currently, when uprobe is attached to text on THP, the page is split by FOLL_SPLIT. As a result, uprobe eliminates the performance benefit of THP. This set makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduces FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only split PMD for uprobe. After all uprobes within the THP are removed, the PTE-mapped pages are regrouped as huge PMD. This set (plus a few THP patches) is also available at https://github.com/liu-song-6/linux/tree/uprobe-thp This patch (of 6): Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so that we can use them in other files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
