x86/mm: Add prot_sethuge() helper to abstract out _PAGE_PSE handling
We still have some historic cases of direct fiddling of page attributes with (dangerous & fragile) type casting and address shifting. Add the prot_sethuge() helper instead that gets the types right and doesn't have to transform addresses. ( Also add a debug check to make sure this doesn't get applied to _PAGE_BIT_PAT/_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE pages. ) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com>
