HAVE_MOVE_PUD enables remapping pages at the PUD level if both the source
and destination addresses are PUD-aligned.
With HAVE_MOVE_PUD enabled it can be inferred that there is approximately
a 19x improvement in performance on arm64. (See data below).
------- Test Results ---------
The following results were obtained using a 5.4 kernel, by remapping a
PUD-aligned, 1GB sized region to a PUD-aligned destination. The results
from 10 iterations of the test are given below:
Total mremap times for 1GB data on arm64. All times are in nanoseconds.

A 1GB mremap completion time drops from ~1.1 milliseconds to ~59
microseconds on arm64. (~19x speed up).

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.
