mm/mglru: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG
Patch series "mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup", v4.
This series is the result of the following discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/47066176-bd93-55dd-c2fa-002299d9e034@linux.ibm.com/
It mainly avoids building the code that walks page tables on CPUs that
use it, i.e., those don't support hardware accessed bit. Specifically,
it introduces a new Kconfig to guard some of functions added by
commit bd74fdaea146 ("mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks")
on CPUs like POWER9, on which the series was tested.
This patch (of 5):
Some architectures are able to set the accessed bit in PTEs when PTEs
are used as part of linear address translations.
Add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HW_PTE_YOUNG for such architectures to be able to
override arch_has_hw_pte_young().
