[PATCH v4 bpf-next 1/7] x86/Kconfig: select HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC with HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP

From: Song Liu <song@kernel.org>
Date: 2022-01-19 23:06:40
Also in: bpf, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: Song Liu <redacted>

This enables module_alloc() to allocate huge page for 2MB+ requests.
To check the difference of this change, we need enable config
CONFIG_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS, and call module_alloc(2MB). Before the change,
/sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/kernel shows pte for this map. With the
change, /sys/kernel/debug/page_tables/ show pmd for thie map.
