Subject[RESEND PATCH] mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries
Date
From: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>

Align larger anonymous memory mappings on THP boundaries by going through
thp_get_unmapped_area if THPs are enabled for the current process.

With this patch, larger anonymous mappings are now THP aligned. When a
malloc library allocates a 2MB or larger arena, that arena can now be
mapped with THPs right from the start, which can result in better TLB hit
rates and execution time.

This patch was applied to v6.1, but was reverted due to a regression
report. However it turned out the regression was not due to this patch.
I ping'ed Andrew to reapply this patch, Andrew may forget it. This
patch helps promote THP, so I rebased it onto the latest mm-unstable.
