We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as
well as pgd_free().  Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level
alloc helper as well.

Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic
at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a
generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it.  Instead we introduce two new helpers,
__pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific
pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible.  To accommodate as many arch
as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order.

Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in
pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it.  Some trivial
implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc()
is used; remove them.

Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using
GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate.

Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers.  In
particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and
those PGDs may not be page-sized.

<title>mm: pgtable: introduce pagetable_dtor()</title>

The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of
ptlock.  If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc-&gt;ptl is
NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify
pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function.  Let's introduce pagetable_dtor()
to do this.

Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that
ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether
RCU is used).  This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock
is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

This is the order of the page table allocation, not the order of a PGD. 
Since its always hardwired to 0, simply drop it.

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.

There are two ways for translating va to pa for csky:
 - Use TLB(Translate Lookup Buffer) and PTW (Page Table Walk)
 - Use SSEG0/1 (Simple Segment Mapping)

We use tlb mapping 0-2G and 3G-4G virtual address area and SSEG0/1
are for 2G-2.5G and 2.5G-3G translation. We could disable SSEG0
to use 2G-2.5G as TLB user mapping.

Most architectures define pgd_free() as a wrapper for free_page().

Provide a generic version in asm-generic/pgalloc.h and enable its use for
most architectures.

<title>mm: treewide: clarify pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() naming</title>

<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.

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.
