[PATCH 05/52] mm/numa: Add pte_numa() and pmd_numa()

From: Ingo Molnar
Date: Sun Dec 02 2012 - 13:55:33 EST


From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Implement pte_numa and pmd_numa.

We must atomically set the numa bit and clear the present bit to
define a pte_numa or pmd_numa.

Once a pte or pmd has been set as pte_numa or pmd_numa, the next
time a thread touches a virtual address in the corresponding
virtual range, a NUMA hinting page fault will trigger. The NUMA
hinting page fault will clear the NUMA bit and set the present
bit again to resolve the page fault.

The expectation is that a NUMA hinting page fault is used as
part of a placement policy that decides if a page should remain
on the current node or migrated to a different node.

[ Also add the Kconfig machinery that will be filled with
more details of the NUMA balancing feature in later patches. ]
