Michal Hocko 7635d9cbe8 mm, thp, proc: report THP eligibility for each vma
Userspace falls short when trying to find out whether a specific memory
range is eligible for THP.  There are usecases that would like to know
that
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.DEB.2.21.1809251248450.50347@chino.kir.corp.google.com
: This is used to identify heap mappings that should be able to fault thp
: but do not, and they normally point to a low-on-memory or fragmentation
: issue.

The only way to deduce this now is to query for hg resp.  nh flags and
confronting the state with the global setting.  Except that there is also
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE that might change the picture.  So the final logic is
not trivial.  Moreover the eligibility of the vma depends on the type of
VMA as well.  In the past we have supported only anononymous memory VMAs
but things have changed and shmem based vmas are supported as well these
days and the query logic gets even more complicated because the
eligibility depends on the mount option and another global configuration
knob.

Simplify the current state and report the THP eligibility in
/proc/<pid>/smaps for each existing vma.  Reuse
transparent_hugepage_enabled for this purpose.  The original
implementation of this function assumes that the caller knows that the vma
itself is supported for THP so make the core checks into
__transparent_hugepage_enabled and use it for existing callers.
__show_smap just use the new transparent_hugepage_enabled which also
checks the vma support status (please note that this one has to be out of
line due to include dependency issues).
