[PATCH v5 3/6] [RFC] x86: Add support for idle bit in swap PTE

From: Joel Fernandes (Google) <hidden>
Date: 2019-08-07 17:16:39
Also in: linux-doc, linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

This bit will be used by idle page tracking code to correctly identify
if a page that was swapped out was idle before it got swapped out.
Without this PTE bit, we lose information about if a page is idle or not
since the page frame gets unmapped and the page gets freed.

Bits 2-6 are unused in the swap PTE (see the comment in
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_64.h). Bit 2 corresponds to _PAGE_USER. Use
it for swap PTE purposes.
