    mm hugetlb: add hugepage support to pagemap · 5dc37642

    This patch enables extraction of the pfn of a hugepage from
    /proc/pid/pagemap in an architecture independent manner.
    
    Details
    -------
    My test program (leak_pagemap) works as follows:
     - creat() and mmap() a file on hugetlbfs (file size is 200MB == 100 hugepages,)
     - read()/write() something on it,
     - call page-types with option -p,
     - munmap() and unlink() the file on hugetlbfs
    
    Without my patches
    ------------------
    $ ./leak_pagemap
                 flags page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

                 total        101        0
    
    The output of page-types don't show any hugepage.
    
    With my patches
    ---------------
    $ ./leak_pagemap
                 flags page-count       MB  symbolic-flags                     long-symbolic-flags

                 total      51300      200
    
    The output of page-types shows 51200 pages contributing to hugepages,
    containing 100 head pages and 51100 tail pages as expected.
