[LTP] [PATCH v2] mmap/munmap /dev/zero

[<ca...@re...>]

v2: incorporate comments from Mike and Garrett.

Add a new test to mmap/munmap /dev/zero. A common way of malloc()/free() anonymous memory on Solaris. Anyway, mmap() of /dev/zero results in calling map_zero() which on RHEL5 maps the ZERO_PAGE in every pte within that virtual address range. Since a application is also multi-threaded the subsequent munmap() of /dev/zero results is TLB shootdowns to all other CPUs.  When this happens thousands or millions of times the application performance is terrible. The mapping ZERO_PAGE in every pte within that virtual address range was an optimization to make the subsequent pagefault times faster on RHEL5 that has been removed/changed upstream.
