Ryan Roberts dd4d30d1cd mm: override mTHP "enabled" defaults at kernel cmdline
Add thp_anon= cmdline parameter to allow specifying the default enablement
of each supported anon THP size.  The parameter accepts the following
format and can be provided multiple times to configure each size:

thp_anon=<size>,<size>[KMG]:<value>;<size>-<size>[KMG]:<value>

An example:

thp_anon=16K-64K:always;128K,512K:inherit;256K:madvise;1M-2M:never

See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst for more details.

Configuring the defaults at boot time is useful to allow early user space
to take advantage of mTHP before its been configured through sysfs.

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 reStructuredText 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.
