There are a couple of issues with sync_mm_rss(), as added by patch:

Subject: mm: avoid false sharing of mm_counter

(1) You haven't implemented it for NOMMU mode. What's the right way to do
this? Just give an empty function?

(2) linux/mm.h should carry the empty function as an inline when
CONFIG_SPLIT_RSS_COUNTING=n, rather than it being defined as an empty
function in mm/memory.c.
