In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another
CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker
itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important
to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that
entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence
due to compiler transformations.
Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned
kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE
/WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier
to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch
code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries
from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former
(as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).

The default implementation of set_huge_swap_pte_at() does not support
hugepages consisting of contiguous ptes. Override it to add support for
contiguous hugepages.

The default huge_pte_clear() implementation does not clear contiguous
page table entries when it encounters contiguous hugepages that are
supported on arm64.
Fix this by overriding the default implementation to clear all the
entries associated with contiguous hugepages.

This moves the #ifdef in C code to a Kconfig dependency. Also we move
the gigantic_page_supported() function to be arch specific.
This allows architectures to conditionally enable runtime allocation of
gigantic huge page. Architectures like ppc64 supports different
gigantic huge page size (16G and 1G) based on the translation mode
selected. This provides an opportunity for ppc64 to enable runtime
allocation only w.r.t 1G hugepage.
No functional change in this patch.

The arm64 MMU supports a Contiguous bit which is a hint that the TTE
is one of a set of contiguous entries which can be cached in a single
TLB entry. Supporting this bit adds new intermediate huge page sizes.
The set of huge page sizes available depends on the base page size.
Without using contiguous pages the huge page sizes are as follows.
4KB: 2MB 1GB
64KB: 512MB
With a 4KB granule, the contiguous bit groups together sets of 16 pages
and with a 64KB granule it groups sets of 32 pages. This enables two new
huge page sizes in each case, so that the full set of available sizes
is as follows.
4KB: 64KB 2MB 32MB 1GB
64KB: 2MB 512MB 16GB
If a 16KB granule is used then the contiguous bit groups 128 pages
at the PTE level and 32 pages at the PMD level.
If the base page size is set to 64KB then 2MB pages are enabled by
default. It is possible in the future to make 2MB the default huge
page size for both 4KB and 64KB granules.

Add huge page support to ARM64, different huge page sizes are
supported depending on the size of normal pages:
PAGE_SIZE is 4KB:
2MB - (pmds) these can be allocated at any time.
1024MB - (puds) usually allocated on bootup with the command line
with something like: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6
PAGE_SIZE is 64KB:
512MB - (pmds) usually allocated on bootup via command line.
