<content type='text'>
Make the code which sets up the pmd depend on PT_NLEVELS == 3, not on
CONFIG_64BIT. The reason is, that a 64bit kernel with a page size
greater than 4k doesn't need the pmd and thus has PT_NLEVELS = 2.

<id>0e0da48dee8dfbcc0df4b8e2ff4efc7a2c89ba6b</id>
<content type='text'>
The patch dc6c9a35b66b520cf67e05d8ca60ebecad3b0479 that counts pmds
allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels.

The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This
preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is
called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated
pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the
counter underflows and this error is reported.

This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in
pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd.

<title>mm: add missing __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED defines</title>

<id>c07af4f1ce413d009ea76ee69099f06f73ce75b2</id>
<content type='text'>
Core mm expects __PAGETABLE_{PUD,PMD}_FOLDED to be defined if these page
table levels folded.  Usually, these defines are provided by
&lt;asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h&gt; and &lt;asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h&gt;.

But some architectures fold page table levels in a custom way.  They
need to define these macros themself.  This patch adds missing defines.

The patch fixes mm-&gt;nr_pmds underflow and eliminates dead __pmd_alloc()
and __pud_alloc() on architectures without these page table levels.

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - several cleanups in kbuild

 - serialize multiple *config targets so that 'make defconfig kvmconfig'
   works

 - The cc-ifversion macro got support for an else-branch

* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  kbuild,gcov: simplify kernel/gcov/Makefile more
  kbuild: allow cc-ifversion to have the argument for false condition
  kbuild,gcov: simplify kernel/gcov/Makefile
  kbuild,gcov: remove unnecessary workaround
  kbuild: do not add $(call ...) to invoke cc-version or cc-fullversion
  kbuild: fix cc-ifversion macro
  kbuild: drop $(version_h) from MRPROPER_FILES
  kbuild: use mixed-targets when two or more config targets are given
  kbuild: remove redundant line from bounds.h/asm-offsets.h
  kbuild: merge bounds.h and asm-offsets.h rules
  kbuild: Drop support for clean-rule

Remove the function smp_send_start() that is not used anywhere.

This was partially found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

While working on arch/parisc/include/asm/uaccess.h, I noticed that some
macros within this header are made harder to read because they violate a
coding style rule: space is missing after comma.

Fix it up.

virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.  At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

Fix that up using __force.
