cregit-Linux how code gets into the kernel

Release 4.7 tools/testing/selftests/vm/hugepage-shm.c

/*
 * hugepage-shm:
 *
 * Example of using huge page memory in a user application using Sys V shared
 * memory system calls.  In this example the app is requesting 256MB of
 * memory that is backed by huge pages.  The application uses the flag
 * SHM_HUGETLB in the shmget system call to inform the kernel that it is
 * requesting huge pages.
 *
 * For the ia64 architecture, the Linux kernel reserves Region number 4 for
 * huge pages.  That means that if one requires a fixed address, a huge page
 * aligned address starting with 0x800000... will be required.  If a fixed
 * address is not required, the kernel will select an address in the proper
 * range.
 * Other architectures, such as ppc64, i386 or x86_64 are not so constrained.
 *
 * Note: The default shared memory limit is quite low on many kernels,
 * you may need to increase it via:
 *
 * echo 268435456 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
 *
 * This will increase the maximum size per shared memory segment to 256MB.
 * The other limit that you will hit eventually is shmall which is the
 * total amount of shared memory in pages. To set it to 16GB on a system
 * with a 4kB pagesize do:
 *
 * echo 4194304 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
