Aneesh Kumar K.V fae2211697 powerpc/mm: Fix crashes with 16G huge pages
To support memory keys, we moved the hash pte slot information to the
second half of the page table. This was ok with PTE entries at level
4 (PTE page) and level 3 (PMD). We already allocate larger page table
pages at those levels to accomodate extra details. For level 4 we
already have the extra space which was used to track 4k hash page
table entry details and at level 3 the extra space was allocated to
track the THP details.

With hugetlbfs PTE, we used this extra space at the PMD level to store
the slot details. But we also support hugetlbfs PTE at PUD level for
16GB pages and PUD level page didn't allocate extra space. This
resulted in memory corruption.

Fix this by allocating extra space at PUD level when HUGETLB is
enabled.

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.
