2016-02-18arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappingsArd Biesheuvel1-1/+1
This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent patch.

2016-01-16mm, thp: remove infrastructure for handling splitting PMDsKirill A. Shutemov1-40/+0
With new refcounting we don't need to mark PMDs splitting. Let's drop code to handle this. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag Pull metag updates from James Hogan: "Metag architecture changes for v4.3. Just a couple of changes for v4.3-rc1. A preparatory IRQ patch to prepare for moving irq_data struct members, and a tweak to Documentation/features since Meta2 could support THP" * tag 'metag-for-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/metag: Documentation/features/vm: Meta2 is capable of THP metag/irq: Use access helper irq_data_get_affinity_mask()
2015-09-07Documentation/features/vm: Meta2 is capable of THPJames Hogan1-1/+1
Change metag Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support from .. to TODO. Meta2 has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting THP is theoretically possible too.
