mm: move hugepage test examples to tools/testing/selftests/vm
hugepage-mmap.c, hugepage-shm.c and map_hugetlb.c in Documentation/vm are simple pass/fail tests, It's better to promote them to tools/testing/selftests. Thanks suggestion of Andrew Morton about this. They all need firstly setting up proper nr_hugepages and hugepage-mmap need to mount hugetlbfs. So I add a shell script run_vmtests to do such work which will call the three test programs and check the return value of them. Changes to original code including below: a. add run_vmtests script b. return error when read_bytes mismatch with writed bytes. c. coding style fixes: do not use assignment in if condition [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build the targets before trying to execute them] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Documentation/vm/ no longer has a Makefile. Fixes "make clean"] Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

1/*
2 * hugepage-shm:
3 *
4 * Example of using huge page memory in a user application using Sys V shared
5 * memory system calls. In this example the app is requesting 256MB of
6 * memory that is backed by huge pages. The application uses the flag
7 * SHM_HUGETLB in the shmget system call to inform the kernel that it is
8 * requesting huge pages.
9 *
10 * For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
11 * huge pages. That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
12 * aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required. If a fixed
13 * address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
14 * range.
15 * Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
16 *
17 * Note: The default shared memory limit is quite low on many kernels,
18 * you may need to increase it via:
19 *
20 * echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
21 *
22 * This will increase the maximum size per shared memory segment to 256MB.
23 * The other limit that you will hit eventually is shmall which is the
24 * total amount of shared memory in pages. To set it to 16GB on a system
25 * with a 4kB pagesize do:
26 *
27 * echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
