Test mremap on regions of various sizes and alignments and validate data after remapping. Also provide total time for remapping the region which is useful for performance comparison of the mremap optimizations that move pages at the PMD/PUD levels if HAVE_MOVE_PMD and/or HAVE_MOVE_PUD are enabled.

Hi,
This takes 100x longer to run than it should: 1:46 min of running time on my x86_64 test machine. The entire selftests/vm test suite takes 45 sec on a bad day, where a bad day is defined as up until about tomorrow, when I will post a compaction_test.c patch that will cut that time down to about half, or 24 sec total run time...for 22 tests!
In other words, most tests here should take about 1 or 2 seconds, unless they are exceptionally special snowflakes.
At the very least, the invocation within run_vmtests could pass in a parameter to tell it to run a shorter test. But there's also opportunities to speed it up, too.
...
+#define MAKE_TEST(source_align, destination_align, size, \
overlaps, should_fail, test_name) \+{ \
- .name = test_name, \
- .config = { \
.src_alignment = source_align, \.dest_alignment = destination_align, \.region_size = size, \.overlapping = overlaps, \- }, \
- .expect_failure = should_fail \
+}
OK...
+#define MAKE_SIMPLE_TEST(source_align, destination_align, size) \
- MAKE_TEST(source_align, destination_align, size, 0, 0, \
#size " mremap - Source " #source_align \" aligned, Destination " #destination_align \" aligned")
...and not OK. :) Because this is just obscuring things. Both the code and the output are harder to read. For these tiny test programs, clarity is what we want, not necessarily compactness on the screen. Because people want to get in, understand what they seen in the code and match it up with what is printed to stdout--without spending much time. (And that includes run time, as hinted at above.)

I'd recommend using rand() to help choose the pattern, and using different patterns for different runs. When testing memory, it's a pitfall to have the same test pattern.
Normally, you'd also want to report the random seed or the test pattern(s) or both to stdout, and provide a way to run with the same pattern, but here I don't *think* you care: all patterns should have the same performance.
- int pattern_size = ARRAY_SIZE(pattern);
- src_addr = get_source_mapping(c);
- if (!src_addr) {
ret = -1;goto out;- }
- /* Set byte pattern */
- for (i = 0; i < c.region_size; i++) {
for (j = 0; i+j < c.region_size && j < pattern_size; j++)memset((char *) src_addr + i+j, pattern[j], 1);i += pattern_size-1;- }
- align_mask = ~(c.dest_alignment - 1);
- offset = (c.overlapping) ? -c.dest_alignment : c.dest_alignment;
A comment for what the above two lines are doing would be a nice touch.
...
- start_ns = t_start.tv_sec * 1000000000ULL + t_start.tv_nsec;
- end_ns = t_end.tv_sec * 1000000000ULL + t_end.tv_nsec;
A const or #defined for all those 0000's would help.

Named flags instead of 1's and 0's would avoid the need for messy comments.

Too concise. Not fun lining these up with the stdout report.
thanks,
