Convert all non-architecture-specific code to 5-level paging.

It's mostly mechanical adding handling one more page table level in
places where we deal with pud_t.

<title>userfaultfd: mcopy_atomic: return -ENOENT when no compatible VMA found</title>

<content type='text'>
The memory mapping of a process may change between #PF event and the
call to mcopy_atomic that comes to resolve the page fault.  In such
case, there will be no VMA covering the range passed to mcopy_atomic or
the VMA will not have userfaultfd context.

To allow uffd monitor to distinguish those case from other errors, let's
return -ENOENT instead of -EINVAL.

Note, that despite availability of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP there still might be
race between the processing of UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP and outstanding
mcopy_atomic in case of non-cooperative uffd usage.

<title>userfaultfd: hugetlbfs: add UFFDIO_COPY support for shared mappings</title>

<id>1c9e8def43a3452e7af658b340f5f4f4ecde5c38</id>
<content type='text'>
When userfaultfd hugetlbfs support was originally added, it followed the
pattern of anon mappings and did not support any vmas marked VM_SHARED.
As such, support was only added for private mappings.

Remove this limitation and support shared mappings.  The primary
functional change required is adding pages to the page cache.  More subtle
changes are required for huge page reservation handling in error paths.  A
lengthy comment in the code describes the reservation handling.

If __mcopy_atomic_hugetlb exits with an error, put_page will be called

was associated with the huge page, the PagePrivate flag will be set.
Clear PagePrivate before calling put_page/free_huge_page so that the
global reservation count is not incremented.

The new routine copy_huge_page_from_user() uses kmap_atomic() to map
PAGE_SIZE pages.  However, this prevents page faults in the subsequent
call to copy_from_user().  This is OK in the case where the routine is
copied with mmap_sema held.  However, in another case we want to allow
page faults.  So, add a new argument allow_pagefault to indicate if the
routine should allow page faults.

__mcopy_atomic_hugetlb performs the UFFDIO_COPY operation for huge
pages.  It is based on the existing __mcopy_atomic routine for normal
pages.  Unlike normal pages, there is no huge page support for the
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE operation.

Cleanup the vma-&gt;vm_ops usage.

Side note: it would be more robust if vma_is_anonymous() would also
check that vm_flags hasn't VM_PFNMAP set.

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.
