[merged mm-stable] arm64-add-batched-versions-of-ptep_modify_prot_start-commit.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: arm64: add batched versions of ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     arm64-add-batched-versions-of-ptep_modify_prot_start-commit.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: arm64: add batched versions of ptep_modify_prot_start/commit
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 14:32:44 +0530

Override the generic definition of modify_prot_start_ptes() to use
get_and_clear_full_ptes().  This helper does a TLBI only for the starting
and ending contpte block of the range, whereas the current implementation
will call ptep_get_and_clear() for every contpte block, thus doing a TLBI
on every contpte block.  Therefore, we have a performance win.

The arm64 definition of pte_accessible() allows us to batch in the
errata specific case:

#define pte_accessible(mm, pte)	\
	(mm_tlb_flush_pending(mm) ? pte_present(pte) : pte_valid(pte))

All ptes are obviously present in the folio batch, and they are also valid.

Override the generic definition of modify_prot_commit_ptes() to simply use
set_ptes() to map the new ptes into the pagetable.
