This benchmark contains the following tests: * Map test, where the host unmaps guest memory while the guest writes to it (maps it). The test is designed in a way to make the unmap operation on the host take a negligible amount of time in comparison with the mapping operation in the guest. The test area is actually split in two: the first half is being mapped by the guest while the second half in being unmapped by the host. Then a guest <-> host sync happens and the areas are reversed. * Unmap test which is broadly similar to the above map test, but it is designed in an opposite way: to make the mapping operation in the guest take a negligible amount of time in comparison with the unmap operation on the host. This test is available in two variants: with per-page unmap operation or a chunked one (using 2 MiB chunk size). * Move active area test which involves moving the last (highest gfn) memslot a bit back and forth on the host while the guest is concurrently writing around the area being moved (including over the moved memslot). * Move inactive area test which is similar to the previous move active area test, but now guest writes all happen outside of the area being moved. * Read / write test in which the guest writes to the beginning of each page of the test area while the host writes to the middle of each such page. Then each side checks the values the other side has written. This particular test is not expected to give different results depending on particular memslots implementation, it is meant as a rough sanity check and to provide insight on the spread of test results expected. Each test performs its operation in a loop until a test period ends (this is 5 seconds by default, but it is configurable). Then the total count of loops done is divided by the actual elapsed time to give the test result. The tests have a configurable memslot cap with the "-s" test option, by default the system maximum is used. Each test is repeated a particular number of times (by default 20 times), the best result achieved is printed. The test memory area is divided equally between memslots, the reminder is added to the last memslot. The test area size does not depend on the number of memslots in use. The tests also measure the time that it took to add all these memslots. The best result from the tests that use the whole test area is printed after all the requested tests are done. In general, these tests are designed to use as much memory as possible (within reason) while still doing 100+ loops even on high memslot counts with the default test length. Increasing the test runtime makes it increasingly more likely that some event will happen on the system during the test run, which might lower the test result. Signed-off-by: Maciej S.

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.
