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 13x improvement in performance on x86. (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 x86. All times are in nanoseconds.

README
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.
