    arm64/mm: new ptep layer to manage contig bit · 5a00bfd6
    Ryan Roberts authored
    Create a new layer for the in-table PTE manipulation APIs.  For now, The
    existing API is prefixed with double underscore to become the arch-private
    API and the public API is just a simple wrapper that calls the private
    API.
    
    The public API implementation will subsequently be used to transparently
    manipulate the contiguous bit where appropriate.  But since there are
    already some contig-aware users (e.g.  hugetlb, kernel mapper), we must
    first ensure those users use the private API directly so that the future
    contig-bit manipulations in the public API do not interfere with those
    existing uses.
    
    The following APIs are treated this way:
    
     - ptep_get
     - set_pte
     - set_ptes
     - pte_clear
     - ptep_get_and_clear
     - ptep_test_and_clear_young
     - ptep_clear_flush_young
     - ptep_set_wrprotect
     - ptep_set_access_flags
