[PATCH 01/15] asm-generic, x86: introduce generic pte_{alloc, free}_one[_kernel]

Mike Rapoport
2019-05-02T15:28:28Z

Most architectures have identical or very similar implementation of
pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_alloc_one(), pte_free_kernel() and pte_free().

Add a generic implementation that can be reused across architectures and
enable its use on x86.

The generic implementation uses

GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO

for the kernel page tables and

GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO | __GFP_ACCOUNT

for the user page tables.

The "base" functions for PTE allocation, namely __pte_alloc_one_kernel()
and __pte_alloc_one() are intended for the architectures that require
additional actions after actual memory allocation or must use non-default
GFP flags.

x86 is switched to use generic pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_free_kernel() and
pte_free().

x86 still implements pte_alloc_one() to allow run-time control of GFP flags
required for "userpte" command line option.
