Zach O'Keefe 1b03d0d558 selftests/vm: add thp collapse file and tmpfs testing
Add memory operations for file-backed and tmpfs memory.  Call existing
tests with these new memory operations to test collapse functionality of
khugepaged and MADV_COLLAPSE on file-backed and tmpfs memory.  Not all
tests are reusable; for example, collapse_swapin_single_pte() which checks
swap usage.

Refactor test arguments.  Usage is now:

Usage: ./khugepaged <test type> [dir]

        <test type>     : <context>:<mem_type>
        <context>       : [all|khugepaged|madvise]
        <mem_type>      : [all|anon|file]

        "file,all" mem_type requires [dir] argument

        "file,all" mem_type requires kernel built with
        CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y

        if [dir] is a (sub)directory of a tmpfs mount, tmpfs must be
        mounted with huge=madvise option for khugepaged tests to work

Refactor calling tests to make it clear what collapse context / memory
operations they support, but only invoke tests requested by user.  Also
log what test is being ran, and with what context / memory, to make test
logs more human readable.

A new test file is created and deleted for every test to ensure no pages
remain in the page cache between tests (tests also may attempt to collapse
different amount of memory).

For file-backed memory where the file is stored on a block device, disable
/sys/block/<device>/queue/read_ahead_kb so that pages don't find their way
into the page cache without the tests faulting them in.

Add file and shmem wrappers to vm_utils check for file and shmem hugepages
in smaps.

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.
