mainlining shenanigans
643d95aac5
Drop lookup_address_in_mm() now that KVM is providing it's own variant
of lookup_address_in_pgd() that is safe for use with user addresses, e.g.
guards against page tables being torn down. A variant that provides a
non-init mm is inherently dangerous and flawed, as the only reason to use
an mm other than init_mm is to walk a userspace mapping, and
lookup_address_in_pgd() does not play nice with userspace mappings, e.g.
doesn't disable IRQs to block TLB shootdowns and doesn't use READ_ONCE()
to ensure an upper level entry isn't converted to a huge page between
checking the PAGE_SIZE bit and grabbing the address of the next level
down.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
