Use of KSM (Kernel SamePage Merging) feature in Linux kernel with LispWorks
Just curious: does anyone know if LispWorks for Linux support the KSM feature in recent linux kernels?:
According to the documentation above, an application has to advise the kernel that it is a candidate for KSM, as follows:
KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application
has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2) system call: int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).
