@graksky - I get your point, and I trust your judgement in regards to the repo package. But I would urge real caution when it comes to UKSM, atleast for now.

FWIW I did try this for a week and noticed _NO_ improvement in mem usage but the 'uksm' process was always in the top 5 cpu usage, almost constantly running at 2% - 5%. Just my unscientific 2 pence.

No worries, the default is NOT compiled in as you can see in the PKGBUILD. As I have previously stated, the repo packages will NOT get this due to the former. Arch is about choice, so go ahead and enable and compile is you wish.

"I don't know enough about that patch to know if it is 100 % dormant without `echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run` since the page and forums are in Chinese." And therein lies a big problem. That, combined with the responses on LKML almost 15 months ago, combined with the lack of follow up by xianai here or on LKML since then makes me think it's not worth the maintenance hassle or the risk. There are those, me formerly being one of them, who will assume "hey BFS and BFQ are performance related (in the sense of interactive responsiveness on a contemporary desktop) so UKSM must be also, therefore I will compile it in". And if graysky himself can't really understand the interactions, due to no documentation in the dominant kernel development language, then I wouldn't touch it, not even as an option.

@kyak - I don't know enough about that patch to know if it is 100 % dormant without `echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run` since the page and forums are in Chinese. I therefore do not want to force it on all the repo users. BFQ by comparison is 100 % dormant unless the user chooses to active it. Can you point me to documentation?

@skydrome Thanks, but i don't have /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run on the repo-ck kernel! There is /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run however, and it's disabled by default. @graysky Can we do the same for uksm? (I.e. provide it, but disable by default for repo-ck users?)

Because the packager is sloppy... thanks for pointing that out/fixed.
