mainlining shenanigans

On VTLB+FTLB platforms (such as Loongson-3A R2), FTLB's pagesize is usually configured the same as PAGE_SIZE. In such a case, Huge page entry is not suitable to write in FTLB. Unfortunately, when a huge page is created, its page table entries haven't created immediately. Then the TLB refill handler will fetch an invalid page table entry which has no "HUGE" bit, and this entry may be written to FTLB. Since it is invalid, TLB load/store handler will then use tlbwi to write the valid entry at the same place. However, the valid entry is a huge page entry which isn't suitable for FTLB. Our solution is to modify build_huge_handler_tail. Flush the invalid old entry (whether it is in FTLB or VTLB, this is in order to reduce branches) and use tlbwr to write the valid new entry.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
