I was able to reproduce the 2MB megapages test results on rv64 QEMU.  On a
HiFive Unleashed, though, a few more tests fail:

- One of the heapshrink tests fails ("Heap did not shrink")

Some of these may be related to the top-down mmap work, but there might be
more work to do on actual hardware.

I don't think this is related to top-down mmap layout, this test only
mmaps a huge page. It might be interesting to see more verbose messages
adding HUGETLB_VERBOSE=99 when launching the test.
Here is the HUGETLB_VERBOSE=99 output from the above heapshrink test on an
FU540:

This is with this hugepage configuration:

# /usr/local/bin/hugeadm --pool-list

Ok thanks for that, but it does not say much :)

While trying to understand why it may fail on HW, I actually failed to reproduce the results on qemu (I did not check the results for v3 and I recently switched from yocto to buildroot so I lost my configuration...).

What configuration do you use to reproduce the results on qemu ?

FYI, while playing around, I noticed that with qemu v4.0.0, icache_hygiene stalls whereas with
v3.1.0, it does not but I did not investigate though.

Thanks,

Alex
