Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl
Date:   Tue, 19 Sep 2023 13:51:57 -0700

A process can enable KSM with the prctl system call. When the process is
forked the KSM flag is inherited by the child process. However if the
process is executing an exec system call directly after the fork, the
KSM setting is cleared. This patch addresses this problem.
