Yes, first you run a simple thp allocation like below in the background:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <string.h>
#define BASEADDR 0x700000000000
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char *addr;
int length = 0x200000;
while (1) {
addr = mmap((void *)BASEADDR, length, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
memset(addr, 0, length);
munmap(addr, length);
}
return 0;
}
, and then you call tools/vm/page-types.c tool with -p pid option.
After a few calls, the above bug should reproduce.
