mm: move memcmp_pages() and pages_identical()
Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v13.
This patchset makes uprobe aware of THPs.
Currently, when uprobe is attached to text on THP, the page is split by
FOLL_SPLIT. As a result, uprobe eliminates the performance benefit of
THP.
This set makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduces
FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only split PMD for uprobe.
After all uprobes within the THP are removed, the PTE-mapped pages are
regrouped as huge PMD.
This set (plus a few THP patches) is also available at
https://github.com/liu-song-6/linux/tree/uprobe-thp
This patch (of 6):
Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so that we
can use them in other files.
