Dev Jain 7033c6cc96 selftests/mm: mremap_test: optimize execution time from minutes to seconds using chunkwise memcmp
Mismatch index is currently being checked by a brute force iteration over
the buffer.  Instead, break the comparison into O(sqrt(n)) number of
chunks, with the chunk size of this order only, where n is the size of the
buffer.  Do a brute-force iteration to print to stdout only when the
highly optimized memcmp() library function returns a mismatch in the
chunk.  The time complexity of this algorithm is O(sqrt(n)) * t, where t
is the time taken by memcmp(); for our test conditions, it is safe to
assume t to be small.

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.
