Possible regression with file madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE)

[Avi Kivity <avi@scylladb.com>]

On Linux 6.10.10 with CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS=y,
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) on  program text fails with EINVAL.

To reproduce, compile the reproducer with

clang -g -o text-hugepage  text-hugepage.c \
	-fuse-ld=lld \
	-Wl,-zcommon-page-size=2097152 -Wl,-zmax-page-size=2097152 \
        -Wl,-z,separate-loadable-segments

and run:

$ strace -e trace=madvise ./text-hugepage
madvise(0x400000, 2097152, MADV_HUGEPAGE) = 0
madvise(0x400000, 2097152, MADV_POPULATE_READ) = 0
madvise(0x400000, 2097152, MADV_COLLAPSE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)

(the funky linker options are needed to make sure the .text vma spans a
hugepage).


I say "possible regression" since I haven't tried it with an older
kernel, but I believe it worked at some point or other seeing that
others managed to get it to work.
