Moving page-tables at the PMD-level on x86 is known to be safe. Enable
this option so that we can do fast mremap when possible.

Android needs to mremap large regions of memory during memory management
related operations. The mremap system call can be really slow if THP is
not enabled. The bottleneck is move_page_tables, which is copying each
pte at a time, and can be really slow across a la
From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)"
This series speeds up mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at the
PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the
Hi,
Here is the latest "fast mremap" series. This just a repost with Kirill's
Acked-bys added. I would like this to be considered for linux -next. I also
dropped the CONFIG enablement patch for arm64 since I am yet to test it with
the new TLB flushing code that is in very recent kernel releases. (

This variable has no reason to have external linkage, and since it is
only used in an __init function, it might as well be made __initconst
also.
