NAME

6       hugeedit - Set default policy for backing text and data with hugepages
7

SYNOPSIS

9       hugeedit binary
10       hugeedit [options] binary
11

DESCRIPTION

13       hugectl  runs  processes  with  a  specific  policy  for backing memory
14       regions with hugepages. Ordinarily when  processes  are  relinked  with
15       libhugetlbfs  using  the  recommended linking method, either hugectl is
16       required on each execution or environment variables  must  be  set  for
17       each execution. hugeedit can be used to set bits in the ELF header that
18       determine if the text or data segments are backed  by  default  without
19       further intervention.
20
21       If  no  arguments are specified, hugeedit will display what the current
22       defaults for each segment in a binary are. The available options are
23
24
25       --text Back the text segments of the binary by default.
26
27
28       --data Back the data segments of the binary by default
29
30
31       --disable
32              Back all segments using small pages by default
