Mike Kravetz 1f522a4856 selftests/memfd: add memfd_create hugetlbfs selftest
With the addition of hugetlbfs support in memfd_create, the memfd
selftests should verify correct functionality with hugetlbfs.

Instead of writing a separate memfd hugetlbfs test, modify the
memfd_test program to take an optional argument 'hugetlbfs'.  If the
hugetlbfs argument is specified, basic memfd_create functionality will
be exercised on hugetlbfs.  If hugetlbfs is not specified, the current
functionality of the test is unchanged.

Note that many of the tests in memfd_test test file sealing operations.
hugetlbfs does not support file sealing, therefore for hugetlbfs all
sealing related tests are skipped.

In order to test on hugetlbfs, there needs to be preallocated huge
pages.  A new script (run_tests) is added.  This script will first run
the existing memfd_create tests.  It will then, attempt to allocate the
required number of huge pages before running the hugetlbfs test.  At the
end of testing, it will release any huge pages allocated for testing
purposes.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
