Linux kernel source tree

A lot of state is threaded throughout the page table moving logic within the mremap code, including boolean values which control behaviour specifically in regard to whether rmap locks need be held over the operation and whether the VMA belongs to a temporary stack being moved by move_arg_pages() (and consequently, relocate_vma_down()). As we already transmit state throughout this operation, it is neater and more readable to maintain a small state object. We do so in the form of pagetable_move_control. In addition, this allows us to update parameters within the state as we manipulate things, for instance with regard to the page table realignment logic. In future I want to add additional functionality to the page table logic, so this is an additional motivation for making it easier to do so. This patch changes move_page_tables() to accept a pointer to a pagetable_move_control struct, and performs changes at this level only. Further page table logic will be updated in a subsequent patch. We additionally also take the opportunity to add significant comments describing the address realignment logic to make it abundantly clear what is going on in this code.

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.
