mainlining shenanigans
48381273f8
The routine huge_pmd_unshare() is passed a pointer to an address
associated with an area which may be unshared. If unshare is successful
this address is updated to 'optimize' callers iterating over huge page
addresses. For the optimization to work correctly, address should be
updated to the last huge page in the unmapped/unshared area. However, in
the common case where the passed address is PUD_SIZE aligned, the address
is incorrectly updated to the address of the preceding huge page. That
wastes CPU cycles as the unmapped/unshared range is scanned twice.

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.
