[ Upstream commit 46aa6a302b53f543f8e8b8e1714dc5e449ad36a6 ]

linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm $ make

  gcc -Wall -I ../../../../usr/include     compaction_test.c -lrt -o /compaction_test
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.9.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot open output file /compaction_test: Permission denied
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make: *** [../lib.mk:54: /compaction_test] Error 1

Since commit a8ba798bc8ec ("selftests: enable O and KBUILD_OUTPUT")
selftests/vm build fails if run from the "selftests/vm" directory, but
it works in the selftests/ directory.  It's quicker to be able to do a
local vm-only build after a tree wipe and this patch allows for it
again.

This patch will randomly perform mlock/mlock2 on a given memory region,
and verify the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limitation works properly.

Test the mmap() flag, and the mlockall() flag.  These tests ensure that
pages are not faulted in until they are accessed, that the pages are
unevictable once faulted in, and that VMA splitting and merging works with
the new VM flag.  The second test ensures that mlock limits are respected.
 Note that the limit test needs to be run a normal user.

Also add tests to use the new mlock2 family of system calls.

Add the usr/include subdirectory of the top-level tree to the include
path, and make sure to include headers without relative paths to make
sure the sanitized headers get picked up.  Otherwise the compiler will
not be able to find the linux/compiler.h header included by the non-
sanitized include/uapi/linux/userfaultfd.h.

While at it, make sure to only hardcode the syscall numbers on x86 and
PowerPC if they haven't been properly picked up from the headers.

This manually reverts 7e50533d4b842 ("selftests: add hugetlbfstest").

The hugetlbfstest test depends on hugetlb pages being counted in a
task's rss.  This functionality is not in the kernel, so the test will
always fail.  Remove test to avoid confusion.

This test allocates two virtual areas and bounces the physical memory
across the two virtual areas using only userfaultfd.

Commit commit 5bbe3547aa3b ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
introduced a sysctl that allows userspace to enable scanning of locked
pages for compaction.  This patch introduces a new test which fragments
main memory and attempts to allocate a number of huge pages to exercise
this compaction logic.

Tested on machines with up to 32 GB RAM. With the patch a much larger
number of huge pages can be allocated than on the kernel without the
patch.

Example output:
On a machine with 16 GB RAM:
sudo make run_tests vm
...
-----------------------
running compaction_test
-----------------------
No of huge pages allocated = 3834
[PASS]
...

This avoids repeating the logic in every Makefile. We mimic the
top-level Makefile and use $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc.
