	If an architecture uses 4level-fixup.h we don't need to do anything as it includes 5level-fixup.h. If an architecture uses pgtable-nop*d.h, define __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK before inclusion of the header. It makes asm-generic code to use 5level-fixup.h. If an architecture has 4-level paging or folds levels on its own, include 5level-fixup.h directly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-05-03	arm64: always use STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS	Yang Shi
	Inspired by the counterpart of powerpc [1], which shows there is no negative effect on code generation from enabling STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS with a modern compiler. And, Arnd's comment [2] about that patch says STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS could be default as long as the architecture can pass structures in registers as function arguments. ARM64 can do it as long as the size of structure <= 16 bytes. All the page table value types are u64 on ARM64. The below disassembly demonstrates it, entry is pte_t type: entry = arch_make_huge_pte(entry, vma, page, writable); 0xffff00000826fc38 <+80>: and x0, x0, #0xfffffffffffffffd 0xffff00000826fc3c <+84>: mov w3, w21 0xffff00000826fc40 <+88>: mov x2, x20 0xffff00000826fc44 <+92>: mov x1, x19 0xffff00000826fc48 <+96>: orr x0, x0, #0x400 0xffff00000826fc4c <+100>: bl 0xffff00000809bcc0 <arch_make_huge_pte> [1] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg105951.html [2] http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg105969.html Cc: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Yang Shi <yang.shi@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2015-04-14	arm64: expose number of page table levels on Kconfig level	Kirill A. Shutemov
	We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct. Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS. ARM64_PGTABLE_LEVELS is renamed to PGTABLE_LEVELS and defined before sourcing init/Kconfig: arch/Kconfig will define default value and it's sourced from init/Kconfig. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2014-07-23	arm64: Remove asm/pgtable-*level-types.h files	Catalin Marinas
	The macros and typedefs in these files are already duplicated, so just use a single pgtable-types.h file with the corresponding #ifdefs. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Tested-by: Jungseok Lee <jungseoklee85@gmail.com>
