Hi canonical,

I ran stress-ng and i did not see any issue in system and idea is to
change this default setting to always as by default  user able to use
thp functionality if some workload has issue on this than it can be
disabled by user .

Regards
Praveen

  Problem Description :

  PowerPC systems running Ubuntu18.04 have Transparent Huge Pages (THP) 
  always set to "madvise". It should be by default set to "always". 

  Reproducible Step:

  1-  Install Ubuntu 18.04 on PowerPC box 
  2- cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  3- grep  "TRANSPARENT" /boot/config-$(uname -r)

  it is set to  madvise

  LOG:

  root@system:~# grep  "TRANSPARENT" /boot/config-$(uname -r)
  CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
  # CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is not set
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE=y
  root@system:~# cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  always [madvise] never
  root@system:~#
