There are two pages in one TLB entry on LoongArch system. For kernel space, it requires both two pte entries (buddies) with PAGE_GLOBAL bit set, otherwise HW treats it as non-global tlb, there will be potential problems if tlb entry for kernel space is not global. Such as fail to flush kernel tlb with the function local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() which supposed only flush tlb with global bit. Kernel address space areas include percpu, vmalloc, vmemmap, fixmap and kasan areas. For these areas both two consecutive page table entries should be enabled with PAGE_GLOBAL bit. So with function set_pte() and pte_clear(), pte buddy entry is checked and set besides its own pte entry. However it is not atomic operation to set both two pte entries, there is problem with test_vmalloc test case. So function kernel_pte_init() is added to init a pte table when it is created for kernel address space, and the default initial pte value is PAGE_GLOBAL rather than zero at beginning. Then only its own pte entry need update with function set_pte() and pte_clear(), nothing to do with the pte buddy entry.
