    selftests/vm: add KSM unmerge tests · 93fb70aa

    Patch series "mm/ksm: break_ksm() cleanups and fixes", v2.
    
    This series cleans up and fixes break_ksm().  In summary, we no longer use
    fake write faults to break COW but instead FAULT_FLAG_UNSHARE.  Further,
    we move away from using follow_page() --- that we can hopefully remove
    completely at one point --- and use new walk_page_range_vma() instead.
    
    Fortunately, we can get rid of VM_FAULT_WRITE and FOLL_MIGRATION in common
    code now.
    
    Extend the existing ksm tests by an unmerge benchmark, and a some new
    unmerge tests.
    
    Also, add a selftest to measure MADV_UNMERGEABLE performance.  In my setup
    (AMD Ryzen 9 3900X), running the KSM selftest to test unmerge performance
    on 2 GiB (taskset 0x8 ./ksm_tests -D -s 2048), this results in a
    performance degradation of ~6% -- 7% (old: ~5250 MiB/s, new: ~4900 MiB/s).
    I don't think we particularly care for now, but it's good to be aware of
    the implication.
    
    
    This patch (of 9):
    
    Let's add three unmerge tests (MADV_UNMERGEABLE unmerging all pages in the
    range).
    
    test_unmerge(): basic unmerge tests
    test_unmerge_discarded(): have some pte_none() entries in the range
    test_unmerge_uffd_wp(): protect the merged pages using uffd-wp
    
    ksm_tests.c currently contains a mixture of benchmarks and tests, whereby
    each test is carried out by executing the ksm_tests binary with specific
    parameters.  Let's add new ksm_functional_tests.c that performs multiple,
    smaller functional tests all at once.
