Hi Minchan,
arch/arm and arch/arm64 are handled separately.
Could you please split this patch into arm and arm64 versions?

This macro is missing the parameter definition, and will generate a
compile errror when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y

For 32-bit ARM with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=n, we don't have THP support and I noticed
some compiler errors in mm/madvise.c:

  CC      mm/madvise.o
mm/madvise.c: In function a??madvise_free_pte_rangea??:
mm/madvise.c:279:3: error: implicit declaration of function a??pmdp_get_and_cleara?? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(mm, addr, pmd);
   ^
