    mm: hugetlb: Copy general hugetlb code from x86 to mm. · 9e5fc74c
    Steve Capper authored
    The huge_pte_alloc, huge_pte_offset and follow_huge_p[mu]d
    functions in x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c do not rely on any architecture
    specific knowledge other than the fact that pmds and puds can be
    treated as huge ptes.
    
    To allow other architectures to use this code (and reduce the need
    for code duplication), this patch copies these functions into mm,
    replaces the use of pud_large with pud_huge and provides a config
    flag to activate them:
    CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB
    
    If CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_HUGE_PMD_SHARE is also active then the
    huge_pmd_share code will be called by huge_pte_alloc (othewise we
    call pmd_alloc and skip the sharing code).
