Oscar Salvador 3a45acc086 mm/page_ext.c: make page_ext_init a noop when CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION but nothing uses it
static struct page_ext_operations *page_ext_ops[] always contains debug_guardpage_ops,

static struct page_ext_operations *page_ext_ops[] = {
        &debug_guardpage_ops,
 #ifdef CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER
        &page_owner_ops,
 #endif
...
}

but for it to work, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC must be enabled first.  If
someone has CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION, but has none of its users, eg:
(CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER, CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING),
we can shrink page_ext_init() to a simple retq.

  $ size vmlinux  (before patch)
        text      data       bss       dec       hex  filename
    14356698   5681582   1687748  21726028   14b834c  vmlinux

  $ size vmlinux  (after patch)
        text      data       bss       dec       hex  filename
    14356008   5681538   1687748  21725294   14b806e  vmlinux

On the other hand, it might does not even make sense, since if someone
enables CONFIG_PAGE_EXTENSION, I would expect him to enable also at
least one of its users.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
