Subject: mm: move memcmp_pages() and pages_identical()
Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v9.
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 patchset makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduce
FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only splits PMD for uprobe.
This patch (of 4):
Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so we can
use them in other files.
