[merged mm-stable] mm-fold-userfaultfd_rwp-to-false-without-config_arch_has_pte_protnone.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fold-userfaultfd_rwp-to-false-without-config_arch_has_pte_protnone.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: mm: fold userfaultfd_rwp() to false without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE

RWP tracks accesses by installing PAGE_NONE (protnone) PTEs, so its code
paths are gated on userfaultfd_rwp().  Without
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE there is no PAGE_NONE -- <linux/pgtable.h>
defines it to a BUILD_BUG() stub, relying on callers folding such paths to
dead code via IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE).

userfaultfd_rwp() was not a compile-time constant, so the compiler could
not fold those paths.  With an older compiler (gcc 8.5.0, sparc64) the
PAGE_NONE reference in move_pages_huge_pmd() survived to codegen:

  mm/huge_memory.c:2874: _dst_pmd = pmd_modify(_dst_pmd, PAGE_NONE);
  compiler_types.h:702: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_501'
    declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG failed

RWP cannot exist without protnone, so return a compile-time false when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_PROTNONE is unset; every RWP path then folds away.
