mainlining shenanigans

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory. pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following situation which is counter intuitive. [pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true] This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation as follows. This does not create any functional change. [pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true] This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE. Suggestion for renaming came during a previous discussion here. https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11019637/ [anshuman.khandual@arm.com: change pmd_mknotvalid() to pmd_mkinvalid() per Will] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1587520326-10099-3-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com Suggested-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@armlinux.org.uk> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.

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.
