Subject[RFC PATCH 6/6] mm: Add basic page table sharing using mshare
Date
This patch adds basic page table sharing across tasks by making
mshare syscall. It does this by creating a new mm_struct which
hosts the shared vmas and page tables. This mm_struct is
maintained as long as there is at least one task using the mshare'd
range. It is cleaned up by the last mshare_unlink syscall.

NOTE: WORK IN PRGRESS. This is only a working prototype and has
bugs and many missing pieces. mm/mshare.c documents these bugs and
issues that should be addressed in a more complete implementation.

+ * Current issues/questions:
+ * - mshare_unlink should unmap all shared VMAs for the calling task
+ * - If a task that had called mshare dies, make sure its shared VMAs
+ * are cleaned up properly and refcount to shared region is
+ * updated correctly.
+ * - Should mshare_unlink be allowed only for the tasks that called
+ * mshare() originally so the two calls are matched up? If yes,
+ * should there still be a way to clean up stale shared regions?
+ * - Allow already mapped in VMAs to be mshare'd by the task creating
+ * mshare region. This will potentially require splitting VMAs
+ * - What happens when a task tries to attach to an existing mshare
+ * region and it already has VMAs mapped into that address range?
+ * Possibilities - (1) mshare() fails, or (2) unmap current VMAs
+ * and create new ones with new mapping. If (2), what happens
+ * if exisiting VMA is larger than mshare region - split the
+ * VMA and leave partial original mapping intact, or unmap all
+ * overlapping VMAs
+ * - Can the tasks using mshare region mmap/mremap things into sections
+ * of the range? If yes, that will require additional work. Which
+ * mmaps should be supported - anonymous, files??
+ * - How does this work with hugepages?
+ * - How does this work with OOM killer?
+ * - BUG: PTEs no longer work once the task that created mshare
+ * range dies.
+ * - mmu_notifier uses vma->vm_mm. That very likely breaks with
+ * this code
+ * - Should consumer processes be allowed to only map the entire
+ * mshare'd region or should they be allowed to map subset of it?
