Maybe simply: "detected PMD size". Zes, we read it via the THP interface, but
that shouldn't matter much.

Err, just want to clarify what you are suggesting. With the current patch you
will see something like:

Not with this patch, but with the other ones, yes :)


[INFO] detected PMD-mapped THP size: 2048 KiB
[INFO] detected small-sized THP size: 64 KiB
[INFO] detected small-sized THP size: 128 KiB
...
[INFO] detected small-sized THP size: 1024 KiB


Are you suggesting something like this:

[INFO] detected PMD size: 2048 KiB
[INFO] detected THP size: 64 KiB
[INFO] detected THP size: 128 KiB
...
[INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB


Yes. If you'd detect that 2M is actually disabled, you could still log the PMD size only.

So for this patch only as a preparation

[INFO] detected PMD size: 2048 KiB
[INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB

Just a thought.
