ARC: mm: support 3 levels of page tables
ARCv2 MMU is software walked and Linux implements 2 levels of paging: pgd/pte. Forthcoming hw will have multiple levels, so this change preps mm code for same. It is also fun to try multi levels even on soft-walked code to ensure generic mm code is robust to handle. overview ________ 2 levels {pgd, pte} : pmd is folded but pmd_* macros are valid and operate on pgd 3 levels {pgd, pmd, pte}: - pud is folded and pud_* macros point to pgd - pmd_* macros operate on actual pmd code changes ____________ 1. #include <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h> 2. Define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS 3 3a. Define PMD_SHIFT, PMD_SIZE, PMD_MASK, pmd_t 3b. Define pmd_val() which actually deals with pmd (pmd_offset(), pmd_index() are provided by generic code) 3c. pmd_alloc_one()/pmd_free() also provided by generic code (pmd_populate/pmd_free already exist) 4. Define pud_none(), pud_bad() macros based on generic pud_val() which internally pertains to pgd now. 4b. define pud_populate() to just setup pgd Acked-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>
