Patch series "Consolidate system call hugetlb page size encodings".
These patches are the result of discussions in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/8/548. The following changes are made in the
patch set:
1) Put all the log2 encoded huge page size definitions in a common
header file. The idea is have a set of definitions that can be use as
the basis for system call specific definitions such as MAP_HUGE_* and
SHM_HUGE_*.
2) Remove MAP_HUGE_* definitions in arch specific files. All these
definitions are the same. Consolidate all definitions in the primary
user header file (uapi/linux/mman.h).
3) Remove SHM_HUGE_* definitions intended for user space from kernel
header file, and add to user (uapi/linux/shm.h) header file. Add
definitions for all known huge page size encodings as in mmap.
This patch (of 3):
If hugetlb pages are requested in mmap or shmget system calls, a huge
page size other than default can be requested. This is accomplished by
encoding the log2 of the huge page size in the upper bits of the flag
argument. asm-generic and arch specific headers all define the same
values for these encodings.
Put common definitions in a single header file. The primary uapi header
files for mmap and shm will use these definitions as a basis for
definitions specific to those system calls.
