Well dang.

I can't reproduce with sparc64 gcc-15.2.0. 
Documentation/process/changes.rst says we support 8,1, released in
2018.  Your 8.5 was released in 2021 so perhaps three other people are
still using it :(

https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ doesn't appear to have
sparc64 gcc-8.5 so I gave up.

So I dunno.  I'm inclined to ignore and assume that if someone else hits
this one day, they'll either fix it or provide us with enough details
to figure it out.

I cannot reproduce it either. Maybe we can help compiler to derive that the
code is dead?

Subject: [PATCH] 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.
