[RFC,1/6] mm: Add new system calls mshare, mshare_unlink

Commit Message

Khalid Aziz Jan. 18, 2022, 9:19 p.m. UTC

Add two new system calls to support PTE sharing across processes through
explicit declarations of shared address space.There is almost no
implementation in this patch and it only wires up the system calls for
x86_64 only. mshare() returns a file descriptor which does not support
any operations yet.
