Series [V2] mm/special: Create generic fallbacks for pte_special() and pte_mkspecial() | expand

Commit Message

Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page table
entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they get build
in generic MM without a config check. This creates two generic fallback
stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure. arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a C
file just to prevent a build failure.

this looks wrong.

current Kconfig statement is

select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if !(32BIT && CPU_HAS_RIXI)

so we can't use PTE_SPECIAL on 32bit _and_ CPUs with RIXI support.

Why can't we use

#if defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL)

here as the comment already suggests ?

Thomas.

I already had asked for clarification on this.

Yes, that will be easier and will automatically adjust in case
ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL scope changes later. Will respin the patch.
