I tried enabling this on ARC and ran into a build issue
../mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c: In function ‘pmd_basic_tests’:
../mm/debug_vm_pgtable.c:73:14: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pfn_pmd’;
did you mean ‘pfn_pte’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
pmd_t pmd = pfn_pmd(pfn, prot);
^~~~~~~
The reason being THP was not enabled (although ARC supports THP) - for the
combination below
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not set
I think you need to use latter for guarding pmd_basic_tests()
Other than that the tests pass for !THP and THP too. So once fixed, you could
enable that for ARC as well
Thx for doing this.
