HMM selftests are incredibly useful, but they are only effective if
people actually build and run them. All the other tests in selftests/vm
can be built with very standard, always-available libraries: libpthread,
librt. The hmm-tests.c program, on the other hand, requires something
that is (much) less readily available: libhugetlbfs. And so the build
will typically fail for many developers.

A simple attempt to install libhugetlbfs will also run into
complications on some common distros these days: Fedora and Arch Linux
(yes, Arch AUR has it, but that's fragile, as always with AUR). The
library is not maintained actively enough at the moment, for distros to
deal with it. I had to build it from source, for Fedora, and that didn't
go too smoothly either.

It turns out that, out of 21 tests in hmm-tests.c, only 2 actually
require functionality from libhugetlbfs. Therefore, if libhugetlbfs is
missing, simply ifdef those two tests out and allow the developer to at
least have the other 19 tests, if they don't want to pause to work
through the above issues. Also issue a warning, so that it's clear that
there is an imperfection in the build.

In order to do that, a tiny shell script (check_config.sh) runs a quick
compile (not link, that's too prone to false failures with library
paths), and basically, if the compiler doesn't find hugetlbfs.h in its
standard locations, then the script concludes that libhugetlbfs is not
available. The output is in two files, one for inclusion in hmm-test.c
(local_config.h), and one for inclusion in the Makefile
(local_config.mk).

This gcc has to come from some makefile variable

This is kind of janky :\

Could we just not use libhugetlbfs? Doesn't it all just boil down to
creating a file in /dev/huge? Eg look at tools/testing/selftests/vm/hugepage-mmap.c

ahem, yes, that really should have just been $(CC), will change to that.

Well, the situation is a lot worse than that, because hmm-tests.c is using a few
helper functions that end up pulling in more and more.

My first attempt was actually in your direction: just grab a bit of code from the
library and drop it in. But that ended up turning into several pages of code from
quite a few functions and definitions, and it was looking maybe excessive. (I
can look at it again, though. Maybe it feels less excessive if there are no other
acceptible alternatives.)

So then I thought, why not just *delete* those two routines from hmm-tests.c? But
Ralph didn't like that because he notes that hmm_range_fault() loses some useful
test coverage by being exercised with hugetlbfs.

So finally I landed here, which is so far, the smallest change that would be
potentially acceptible: a couple dozen lines, in order to selectively disable the
problematic routines.

Anyway, thoughts? I like the current approach but am open to anything that makes
hmm-test Just Work for more people, on the *first* try.

thanks,

  I plan on posting a v2 with this additional change, to fix the above point:
