mm: hugetlb: define system call hugetlb size encodings in single file
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.

/*
* Several system calls take a flag to request "hugetlb" huge pages.
* Without further specification, these system calls will use the
* system's default huge page size. If a system supports multiple
* huge page sizes, the desired huge page size can be specified in
* bits [26:31] of the flag arguments. The value in these 6 bits
* will encode the log2 of the huge page size.
*
* The following definitions are associated with this huge page size
* encoding in flag arguments. System call specific header files
* that use this encoding should include this file. They can then
* provide definitions based on these with their own specific prefix.
* for example:
* #define MAP_HUGE_SHIFT HUGETLB_FLAG_ENCODE_SHIFT
