Hey Alex / Michael,

This series adds MADV_COLLAPSE (currently in 6.1-rc1 and expected for Linux 6.1)
documentation to madvise(2) and process_madvise(2).  A few prerequisite patches
are included to fix up existing MADV_HUGEPAGE and process_madvise(2)
documentation, as well as add some additional clarity for madvise(2) "advice"
probing.

Series applies on man-pages-6.00, and though I've attempted to use semantic
newlines, I can't claim I've made the right choices everywhere.

Thanks,
Zach


Zach O'Keefe (4):
  madvise.2: update THP file/shmem documentation for +5.4
  madvise.2: document reliable probe for advice support
  process_madvise.2: CAP_SYS_ADMIN cleanup
  madvise.2: add documentation for MADV_COLLAPSE
