Aneesh Kumar K.V 7ab2eb7ce7 powerpc/hash64/devmap: Use H_PAGE_THP_HUGE when setting up huge devmap PTE entries 
commit 36b78402d9 upstream.

H_PAGE_THP_HUGE is used to differentiate between a THP hugepage and
hugetlb hugepage entries. The difference is WRT how we handle hash
fault on these address. THP address enables MPSS in segments. We want
to manage devmap hugepage entries similar to THP pt entries. Hence use
H_PAGE_THP_HUGE for devmap huge PTE entries.

With current code while handling hash PTE fault, we do set is_thp =
true when finding devmap PTE huge PTE entries.

Current code also does the below sequence we setting up huge devmap
entries.

	entry = pmd_mkhuge(pfn_t_pmd(pfn, prot));
	if (pfn_t_devmap(pfn))
		entry = pmd_mkdevmap(entry);

In that case we would find both H_PAGE_THP_HUGE and PAGE_DEVMAP set
for huge devmap PTE entries. This results in false positive error like
below.

This is because our pmd_trans_huge check doesn't exclude _PAGE_DEVMAP.

To make this all consistent, update pmd_mkdevmap to set
H_PAGE_THP_HUGE and pmd_trans_huge check now excludes _PAGE_DEVMAP
correctly.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
