[$] Process-level kernel samepage merging control
Thursday April 13, 2023. 04:27 PM , from LWN.net

samepage merging (KSM) feature can save significant amounts of memory with some types of workloads, but security concerns have greatly limited its use.

A small patch series from Stefan Roesch aims to change this situation by improving and simplifying how KSM is managed.
