As far as I can tell, csky doesn't enable support for HUGETLBFS nor for TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE and large folios are currently disabled unless you have TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE, simply because they rely on infrastructure that's only built for TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. We should probably fix that at some point; allocating in larger chunks is beneficial even if you don't have PMD sized TLB entries. But the motivation to do that work has been lacking; there are plenty of more important projects in the queue.
