This patch enables the directMap counters to be printed in proc/meminfo
for Hash mmu. With this patch on a system with 8G of DRAM we can see the
entire RAM mapped with 16M pagesize:
cat /proc/meminfo |grep -i direct
DirectMap4k: 0 kB
DirectMap64k: 0 kB
DirectMap16M: 8388608 kB
DirectMap16G: 0 kB
Tested with devdax too:
root@buildroot:/# ndctl create-namespace -r region0 -m devdax -s 2G
{
"dev":"namespace0.0",
"mode":"devdax",
"map":"dev",
"size":"2032.00 MiB (2130.71 MB)",

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
