2013-11-13tools/vm/page-types.c: support KPF_SOFTDIRTY bitNaoya Horiguchi
Soft dirty bit allows us to track which pages are written since the last clear_ref (by "echo 4 > /proc/pid/clear_refs".) This is useful for userspace applications to know their memory footprints. Note that the kernel exposes this flag via bit[55] of /proc/pid/pagemap, and the semantics is not a default one (scheduled to be the default in the near future.) However, it shifts to the new semantics at the first clear_ref, and the users of soft dirty bit always do it before utilizing the bit, so that's not a big deal. Users must avoid relying on the bit in page-types before the first clear_ref.

2012-05-29kbuild: install kernel-page-flags.hUlrich Drepper
Programs using /proc/kpageflags need to know about the various flags. The <linux/kernel-page-flags.h> provides them and the comments in the file indicate that it is supposed to be used by user-level code. But the file is not installed. Install the headers and mark the unstable flags as out-of-bounds. The page-type tool is also adjusted to not duplicate the definitions Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@gmail.com> Acked-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-03-21pagemap: export KPF_THPNaoya Horiguchi
This flag shows that a given page is a subpage of a transparent hugepage. It helps us debug and test the kernel by showing physical address of thp.

2009-12-16mm: export stable page flagsWu Fengguang
Rename get_uflags() to stable_page_flags() and make it a global function for use in the hwpoison page flags filter, which need to compare user page flags with the value provided by user space. Also move KPF_* to kernel-page-flags.h for use by user space tools.
