[RFC PATCH 0/9] Enable THP migration for all possible architectures

From: Zi Yan <zi.yan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi all,

THP migration is only enabled on x86_64 with a special
ARCH_ENABLE_THP_MIGRATION macro. This patchset enables THP migration for
all architectures that uses transparent hugepage, so that special macro can
be dropped. Instead, THP migration is enabled/disabled via
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enable_thp_migration.

I grepped for TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE in arch folder and got 9 architectures that
are supporting transparent hugepage. I mechanically add __pmd_to_swp_entry() and
__swp_entry_to_pmd() based on existing __pte_to_swp_entry() and
__swp_entry_to_pte() for all these architectures, except tile which is going to
be dropped.

I have successfully compiled all these architectures, but have NOT tested them
due to lack of real hardware. I appreciate your help, if the maintainers of
these architectures can do a quick test with the code from
https://github.com/x-y-z/thp-migration-bench . Please apply patch 9 as well
to enable THP migration.

By enabling THP migration, migrating a 2MB THP on x86_64 machines takes only 1/3
time of migrating equivalent 512 4KB pages.

Hi Naoya, I also add soft dirty support for powerpc and s390. It would be great
if you can take a look at patch 6 & 7.

Feel free to give comments. Thanks.
