Patch series "Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Implement huge VMAP and VMALLOC on powerpc 8xx", v2. This series implements huge VMAP and VMALLOC on powerpc 8xx. Powerpc 8xx has 4 page sizes: - 4k - 16k - 512k - 8M At the time being, vmalloc and vmap only support huge pages which are leaf at PMD level. Here the PMD level is 4M, it doesn't correspond to any supported page size. For now, implement use of 16k and 512k pages which is done at PTE level. Support of 8M pages will be implemented later, it requires use of hugepd tables. To allow this, the architecture provides two functions: - arch_vmap_pte_range_map_size() which tells vmap_pte_range() what page size to use. A stub returning PAGE_SIZE is provided when the architecture doesn't provide this function. - arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift() which tells __vmalloc_node_range() what page shift to use for a given area size. A stub returning PAGE_SHIFT is provided when the architecture doesn't provide this function. This patch (of 5): At the time being, arch_make_huge_pte() has the following prototype: pte_t arch_make_huge_pte(pte_t entry, struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct page *page, int writable); vma is used to get the pages shift or size. vma is also used on Sparc to get vm_flags. page is not used. writable is not used. In order to use this function without a vma, replace vma by shift and flags. Also remove the used parameters.
