When I tested the mincore() syscall, I observed that it takes longer with 64K mTHP enabled on my Arm64 server. The reason is the mincore_pte_range() still checks each PTE individually, even when the PTEs are contiguous, which is not efficient. Thus we can use pte_batch_hint() to get the batch number of the present contiguous PTEs, which can improve the performance. I tested the mincore() syscall with 1G anonymous memory populated with 64K mTHP, and observed an obvious performance improvement: w/o patch w/ patch changes 6022us 549us +91% Moreover, I also tested mincore() with disabling mTHP/THP, and did not see any obvious regression for base pages.

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.
