[PATCH v4 RESEND 0/11] x86/mm: Handle large PAT bit in pud/pmd interfaces

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>]

The PAT bit gets relocated to bit 12 when PUD/PMD mappings are used.  This
bit 12, however, is not covered by PTE_FLAGS_MASK, which is corrently used
by masking pfn and flags for all levels.  This patch-set updates pud/pmd
interfaces and multiple functions to handle the large PAT bit properly.

Patch 1/11-2/11 make changes necessary for patch 3/11 to use P?D_PAGE_MASK.

Patch 3/11-4/11 fix pud/pmd interfaces to handle the PAT bit properly.

Patch 5/11 adds p?d_pgprot() interfaces for PUD/PMD.

Patch 6/11 fixes /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables to show the PAT bit
properly.

Patch 7/11-10/11 fix multiple functions to handle the large PAT bit properly.

Patch 11/11 fixes the no-change case in try_preserve_large_page() by
leveraging the changes made in patch 9/11.

Note, the PAT bit is first enabled in 4.2-rc1 with WT mapping.  The functions
fixed by patch 7/11-10/11 are not used with WT mapping yet.  These fixes will
protect them from the future use of the PAT bit set.

The patchset is based on the -tip branch.

RESEND:
 - Rebased to 4.3-rc1 -tip branch. No conflict.

v4:
 - Add descriptions of the issue fixed by patch 01/11 (Thomas Gleixner).
 - Split patch 03 into two patches, mask changes & pud/pmd interface changes.
   (Thomas Gleixner).

v3:
 - Add patch 4/11 and 6/11-9/11 for multiple interfaces to handle the large
   PAT bit.
 - Add patch 11/11 to fix the same pgprot handling in
   try_preserve_large_page().

v2:
 - Change p?n_pfn() to handle the PAT bit. (Juergen Gross)
 - Mask pfn and flags with P?D_PAGE_MASK. (Juergen Gross)
 - Change p?d_page_vaddr() and p?d_page() to handle the PAT bit.
