Merge 5-level page table prep from Kirill Shutemov: "Here's relatively low-risk part of 5-level paging patchset. Merging it now will make x86 5-level paging enabling in v4.12 easier. The first patch is actually x86-specific: detect 5-level paging support. It boils down to single define. The rest of patchset converts Linux MMU abstraction from 4- to 5-level paging. Enabling of new abstraction in most cases requires adding single line of code in arch-specific code. The rest is taken care by asm-generic/. Changes to mm/ code are mostly mechanical: add support for new page table level -- p4d_t -- where we deal with pud_t now. v2: - fix build on microblaze (Michal); - comment for __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK in kasan_populate_zero_shadow(); - acks from Michal" * emailed patches from Kirill A Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>: mm: introduce __p4d_alloc() mm: convert generic code to 5-level paging asm-generic: introduce <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h> arch, mm: convert all architectures to use 5level-fixup.h asm-generic: introduce __ARCH_USE_5LEVEL_HACK asm-generic: introduce 5level-fixup.h x86/cpufeature: Add 5-level paging detection
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
