ARC: mm: support 3 levels of page tables
ARCv2 MMU is software walked and Linux implements 2 levels of paging: pgd/pte.
Forthcoming hw will have multiple levels, so this change preps mm code
for same. It is also fun to try multi levels even on soft-walked code to
ensure generic mm code is robust to handle.
overview
________
2 levels {pgd, pte} : pmd is folded but pmd_* macros are valid and operate on pgd
3 levels {pgd, pmd, pte}:
- pud is folded and pud_* macros point to pgd
- pmd_* macros operate on actual pmd
code changes
____________
1. #include <asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h>
2. Define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS 3
3a. Define PMD_SHIFT, PMD_SIZE, PMD_MASK, pmd_t
3b. Define pmd_val() which actually deals with pmd
(pmd_offset(), pmd_index() are provided by generic code)
3c. pmd_alloc_one()/pmd_free() also provided by generic code
(pmd_populate/pmd_free already exist)
4. Define pud_none(), pud_bad() macros based on generic pud_val() which
internally pertains to pgd now.
4b. define pud_populate() to just setup pgd
