Jinjiang Tu 3a9e567ca4 mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl
Patch series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl", v4.

commit 3c6f33b727 ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve().  However, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task.  The first
patch fixes the issue.

The second patch refactors to prepare for the third patch.  The third
patch extends the selftests of ksm to verfity the deduplication really
happens after fork/exec inherits ths KSM setting.


This patch (of 3):

commit 3c6f33b727 ("mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl") inherits
MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag when a task calls execve().  Howerver, it doesn't
create the mm_slot, so ksmd will not try to scan this task.

To fix it, allocate and add the mm_slot to ksm_mm_head in __bprm_mm_init()
when the mm has MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag.

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.
