Add two mmap() workloads: one that eagerly populates a region and
another that demand faults it in.
The intent is to probe the memory subsytem performance incurred
by mmap().
$ perf bench mem mmap -s 4gb -p 4kb -l 10 -f populate
# Running 'mem/mmap' benchmark:
# function 'populate' (Eagerly populated map())
# Copying 4gb bytes ...

$ perf bench mem mmap -s 4gb -p 2mb -l 10 -f populate
# Running 'mem/mmap' benchmark:
# function 'populate' (Eagerly populated mmap())
# Copying 4gb bytes ...

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 reStructuredText 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.
