Matthew Wilcox b2b29d6d01 mm: account PMD tables like PTE tables
We account the PTE level of the page tables to the process in order to
make smarter OOM decisions and help diagnose why memory is fragmented.
For these same reasons, we should account pages allocated for PMDs.  With
larger process address spaces and ASLR, the number of PMDs in use is
higher than it used to be so the inaccuracy is starting to matter.

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 Restructured Text 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.
