<content type='text'>
As part of the conversions to replace pgtable constructor/destructors with
ptdesc equivalents, convert various page table functions to use ptdescs.

Some of the functions use the *get*page*() helper functions.  Convert
these to use pagetable_alloc() and ptdesc_address() instead to help
standardize page tables further.

<title>riscv: Sync efi page table's kernel mappings before switching</title>

<content type='text'>
The EFI page table is initially created as a copy of the kernel page table.
With VMAP_STACK enabled, kernel stacks are allocated in the vmalloc area:
if the stack is allocated in a new PGD (one that was not present at the
moment of the efi page table creation or not synced in a previous vmalloc
fault), the kernel will take a trap when switching to the efi page table
when the vmalloc kernel stack is accessed, resulting in a kernel panic.

Fix that by updating the efi kernel mappings before switching to the efi
page table.

To determine pgtable level at boot time, we can not use helper functions
in include/asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h and must implement these
functions. This patch uses pgtable_l5_enabled variable instead of
including pgtable-nop4d.h to controle p4d's folding, and implements
corresponding helper functions.

<content type='text'>
By adding a new 4th level of page table, give the possibility to 64bit
kernel to address 2^48 bytes of virtual address: in practice, that offers
128TB of virtual address space to userspace and allows up to 64TB of
physical memory.

If the underlying hardware does not support sv48, we will automatically
fallback to a standard 3-level page table by folding the new PUD level into
PGDIR level. In order to detect HW capabilities at runtime, we
use SATP feature that ignores writes with an unsupported mode.

<content type='text'>
Currently most platforms define pmd_pgtable() as pmd_page() duplicating
the same code all over.  Instead just define a default value i.e
pmd_page() for pmd_pgtable() and let platforms override when required via
&lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt;.  All the existing platform that override pmd_pgtable()
have been moved into their respective &lt;asm/pgtable.h&gt; header in order to
precede before the new generic definition.  This makes it much cleaner
with reduced code.

<id>urn:sha1:1355c31eeb7ea61a7f2f2937d17cd4e343a6b5af</id>
<content type='text'>
For most architectures that support &gt;2 levels of page tables,
pmd_alloc_one() is a wrapper for __get_free_pages(), sometimes with
__GFP_ZERO and sometimes followed by memset(0) instead.

More elaborate versions on arm64 and x86 account memory for the user page
tables and call to pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() as the part of PMD page
initialization.

Move the arm64 version to include/asm-generic/pgalloc.h and use the
generic version on several architectures.

The pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() is a NOP when ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is
not enabled, so there is no functional change for most architectures
except of the addition of __GFP_ACCOUNT for allocation of user page
tables.

The pmd_free() is a wrapper for free_page() in all the cases, so no
functional change here.

<id>urn:sha1:6bd33e1ece528f67646db33bf97406b747dafda0</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel runs in M-mode without using page tables, and thus can't run
bare metal without help from additional firmware.

Most of the patch is just stubbing out code not needed without page
tables, but there is an interesting detail in the signals implementation:

 - The normal RISC-V syscall ABI only implements rt_sigreturn as VDSO
   entry point, but the ELF VDSO is not supported for nommu Linux.
   We instead copy the code to call the syscall onto the stack.

In addition to enabling the nommu code a new defconfig for a small
kernel image that can run in nommu mode on qemu is also provided, to run
a kernel in qemu you can use the following command line:

qemu-system-riscv64 -smp 2 -m 64 -machine virt -nographic \
	-kernel arch/riscv/boot/loader \
	-drive file=rootfs.ext2,format=raw,id=hd0 \
	-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0

<id>urn:sha1:b4ed71f557e458257e0f71b11969954acb389240</id>
<content type='text'>
The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.
