From: Yu Zhao <yuzhao@xxxxxxxxxx>
This file lets a userspace process know the page flags of each of its virtual
pages. It contains a 64-bit set of flags for each virtual page, containing
data identical to that emitted by /proc/kpageflags. This allows the user-space
task can learn the kpageflags for the pages backing its address-space by
consulting one file, without needing to be root.
Example use case is a performance sensitive user-space process querying the
hugepage backing of its own memory without the root access required to access
/proc/kpageflags, and without accessing /proc/self/smaps_rollup which can be
slow and needs to hold mmap_lock.
Similar to /proc/kpageflags, the flags printed out by the kernel for
each page are provided by stable_page_flags(), which exports flag bits
that are user visible and stable over time.
