Mike Rapoport a73c948952 alpha: use pgtable-nopud instead of 4level-fixup
Patch series "mm: remove __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK", v13.

These patches convert several architectures to use page table folding
and remove __ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK along with
include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h.

For the nommu configurations the folding is already implemented by the
generic code so the only change was to use the appropriate header file.

As for the rest, the changes are mostly about mechanical replacement of
pgd accessors with pud/pmd ones and the addition of higher levels to
page table traversals.

With Vineet's patches from "elide extraneous generated code for folded
p4d/pud/pmd" series [1] there is a small shrink of the kernel size of
about -0.01% for the defconfig builds.

This patch (of 13):

It is not likely alpha will have 5-level page tables.

Replace usage of include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h and implied
__ARCH_HAS_4LEVEL_HACK with include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopud.h and
adjust page table manipulation macros and functions accordingly.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
