Add HVO support for RISC-V; see commit6be24bed9d("mm: hugetlb: introduce a new config HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP"). This patch is similar to commit1e63ac088f("arm64: mm: hugetlb: enable HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP for arm64"), and riscv's motivation is the same as arm64. The current riscv was ready to enable HVO after fixup, ref commitd33deda095("riscv/mm: hugepage's PG_dcache_clean flag is only set in head page"). See Documentation/mm/vmemmap_dedup.rst for more details. The HugeTLB VmemmapvOptimization (HVO) defaults to off in Kconfig. Here is the riscv test log: cat /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap echo 8 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages mount -t hugetlbfs none test/ -o pagesize=2048k <Try some simple hugetlb test in test dir, no problem found.> Signed-off-by: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com> Signed-off-by: Guo Ren <guoren@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/1F5AF29D-708A-483B-A29F-CAEE6F554866@linux.dev/ Acked-by: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <ajones@ventanamicro.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230201015259.3222524-1-guoren@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
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.
