Support mremap() for hugepage backed vma segment by simply repositioning page table entries. The page table entries are repositioned to the new virtual address on mremap(). Hugetlb mremap() support is of course generic; my motivating use case is a library (hugepage_text), which reloads the ELF text of executables in hugepages. This significantly increases the execution performance of said executables. Restrict the mremap operation on hugepages to up to the size of the original mapping as the underlying hugetlb reservation is not yet capable of handling remapping to a larger size. During the mremap() operation we detect pmd_share'd mappings and we unshare those during the mremap(). On access and fault the sharing is established again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
