This patch implement flush_{pmd|pud}_tlb_range() in arm64 by
calling __flush_tlb_range() with the corresponding stride and
tlb_level values.

Commit cca98e9f8b5e ("mm: enforce that vmap can't map pages executable")
introduced 'pgprot_nx(prot)' for arm64 but collided silently with the
BTI support during the merge window, which endeavours to clear the GP
bit for non-executable kernel mappings in set_memory_nx().

For consistency between the two APIs, clear the GP bit in pgprot_nx().

<title>mm: consolidate pte_index() and pte_offset_*() definitions</title>

All architectures define pte_index() as

	(address &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PTE - 1)

and all architectures define pte_offset_kernel() as an entry in the array
of PTEs indexed by the pte_index().

For the most architectures the pte_offset_kernel() implementation relies
on the availability of pmd_page_vaddr() that converts a PMD entry value to
the virtual address of the page containing PTEs array.

Let's move x86 definitions of the PTE accessors to the generic place in
&lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; and then simply drop the respective definitions from the
other architectures.

The architectures that didn't provide pmd_page_vaddr() are updated to have
that defined.

The generic implementation of pte_offset_kernel() can be overridden by an
architecture and alpha makes use of this because it has special ordering
requirements for its version of pte_offset_kernel().

manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

remove __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK.

<title>mm/thp: rename pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid()</title>

<content type='text'>
pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as
the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory.
pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from
MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge
page thus also clearing pmd_present() test.  This creates the following
situation which is counter intuitive.

[pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true]

This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's
functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation
as follows.  This does not create any functional change.

[pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true]

This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via
__HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE.  Suggestion for renaming came during a
previous discussion here.

<title>arm64/kernel: Fix range on invalidating dcache for boot page tables</title>

Prior to commit 8eb7e28d4c642c31 ("arm64/mm: move runtime pgds to
rodata"), idmap_pgd_dir, tramp_pg_dir, reserved_ttbr0, swapper_pg_dir,
and init_pg_dir were contiguous at the end of the kernel image. The
maintenance at the end of __create_page_tables assumed these were
contiguous, and affected everything from the start of idmap_pg_dir
to the end of init_pg_dir.

That commit moved all but init_pg_dir into the .rodata section, with
other data placed between idmap_pg_dir and init_pg_dir, but did not
update the maintenance. Hence the maintenance is performed on much
more data than necessary (but as the bootloader previously made this
clean to the PoC there is no functional problem).

As we only alter idmap_pg_dir, and init_pg_dir, we only need to perform
maintenance for these. As the other dirs are in .rodata, the bootloader
will have initialised them as expected and cleaned them to the PoC. The
kernel will initialize them as necessary after enabling the MMU.

This patch reworks the maintenance to only cover the idmap_pg_dir and
init_pg_dir to avoid this unnecessary work.
