<title>mm: remove redundant check about FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple
times") allowed VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times, the
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit of fault_flag will not be changed in the page
fault path, so the following check is no longer needed:

	flags &amp; FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY

So just remove it.

<title>memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()</title>

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory.  Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're
hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory
regions to place kexec images.  It's important to add the memory
directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of
adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent
memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong
flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a
new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

Since memblock_free() operates on a physical range, make its name
reflect it and rename it to memblock_phys_free(), so it will be a
logical counterpart to memblock_phys_alloc().

The callers are updated with the below semantic patch:

    @@
    expression addr;
    expression size;
    @@
    - memblock_free(addr, size);

... not PGD

vmalloc() sets up the kernel page table (starting from @swapper_pg_dir).
But when vmalloc area is accessed in context of a user task, say opening
terminal in n_tty_open(), the user page tables need to be synced from
kernel page tables so that TLB entry is created in "user context".

The old code was doing this incorrectly, as it was updating the user pgd
entry (first level itself) to point to kernel pud table (2nd level),
effectively yanking away the entire user space translation with kernel one.

The correct way to do this is to ONLY update a user space pgd/pud/pmd entry
if it is not popluated already. This ensures that only the missing leaf
pmd entry gets updated to point to relevant kernel pte table.

From code change pov, we are chaging the pattern:

	p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, address);
	p4d_k = p4d_offset(pgd_k, address);
	if (!p4d_present(*p4d_k))
		goto bad_area;
	set_p4d(p4d, *p4d_k);

with
	p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, address);
	p4d_k = p4d_offset(pgd_k, address);
	if (p4d_none(*p4d_k))
		goto bad_area;
	if (!p4d_present(*p4d))
		set_p4d(p4d, *p4d_k);

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 &lt;asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h&gt;

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
