In Linux, memcached relies on transparent huge pages, and even if
libhugetlbfs is enabled by the PACKAGECONFIG (and detected during
do_configure, of course), it is simply not used:
root@qemuriscv64:~# ldd $(which memcached)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000003fa4358000)
libevent-2.1.so.7 => /lib/libevent-2.1.so.7 (0x0000003fa42b0000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0000003fa4157000)
/usr/lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1 (0x0000003fa435a000)
The main reason is the fact that the only call to a function coming from
libhugetlbfs is here:
https://github.com/memcached/memcached/blob/master/memcached.c#L4274
and getpagesizes() is only called if the #if block evaluates to true:
int ret = -1;
size_t sizes[32];
int avail = getpagesizes(sizes, 32);
(...)
/* check if transparent hugepages is compiled into the kernel */
/* RH based systems possibly uses a different path */
static const char *mm_thp_paths[] = {
"/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled",
"/sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled",
NULL
};
(...)
This block relies on HAVE_MEMCNTL, which is a Solaris-specific feature.
Therefore, the dependency link between memcached and libhugetlbfs
doesn't exist in Linux.
Drop libhugetlbfs from memcached's recipe.
