From eed9a328aa1ae6ac1edaa026957e6882f57de0dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Zhao Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2022 01:59:59 -0600 Subject: mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, e.g., x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it as part of linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that clear the accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search space. Note that: 1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros. 2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs. Thanks to the following developers for their efforts [2][3].
