On LoongArch 3C5000 Dual-Way machine, there are 32 CPUs and 128G RAM,
there are some errors with run vmalloc test with command like this
  insmod test_vmalloc.ko   nr_threads=32  run_test_mask=0x3af

Here is part of error message and summary test report for failed cases:

The mainly problem is that function set_pte() and pte_free() is not atomic,
since these functions need modify two consecutive pte entries for kernel
space area to assure that both pte entries with PAGE_GLOBAL bit set. And
there is contension problem between them.

With this patchset, vmalloc test case passes to run with command
  insmod test_vmalloc.ko   nr_threads=32  run_test_mask=0x3af

---
  v1 ... v2:
    1. Solve compile warning issue by declaring function
       kernel_pte_init() in header file include/linux/mm.h
    2. Add kernel_pte_init() in function zero_pmd_populate() called by
       file mm/kasan/init.c
    3. Merge the first two patches into one since both these two patches
       set pte entry with PAGE_GLOBAL in different modules
    4. Remove amotic operation with pte_clear(), using generic read and
       clear operation, vmalloc test pass to run also
    5. refresh some comments description

Bibo Mao (3):
  LoongArch: Set initial pte entry with PAGE_GLOBAL for kernel space
  LoongArch: Add barrier between set_pte and memory access
  LoongArch: Remove pte buddy set with set_pte and pte_clear function
