+msharefs - a filesystem to support shared page tables
+=====================================================
+
+msharefs is a ram-based filesystem that allows multiple processes to
+share page table entries for shared pages.
+
+msharefs is typically mounted like this::
+
+ mount -t msharefs none /sys/fs/mshare
+
+When a process calls mshare syscall with a name for the shared address
+range, a file with the same name is created under msharefs with that
+name. This file can be opened by another process, if permissions
+allow, to query the addresses shared under this range. These files are
+removed by mshare_unlink syscall and can not be deleted directly.
+Hence these files are created as immutable files.

Add a ram-based filesystem that contains the files created for each shared address range. This patch adds just the filesystem and creation of files. Page table entries for these shared ranges created by mshare syscall are still not shared.
