mm: add spurious fault fixing support for huge pmd
The page faults may be spurious because of the racy access to the page
table. For example, a non-populated virtual page is accessed on 2
CPUs simultaneously, thus the page faults are triggered on both CPUs.
However, it's possible that one CPU (say CPU A) cannot find the reason
for the page fault if the other CPU (say CPU B) has changed the page
table before the PTE is checked on CPU A. Most of the time, the
spurious page faults can be ignored safely. However, if the page
fault is for the write access, it's possible that a stale read-only
TLB entry exists in the local CPU and needs to be flushed on some
architectures. This is called the spurious page fault fixing.
In the current kernel, there is spurious fault fixing support for pte,
but not for huge pmd because no architectures need it. But in the
next patch in the series, we will change the write protection fault
handling logic on arm64, so that some stale huge pmd entries may
remain in the TLB. These entries need to be flushed via the huge pmd
spurious fault fixing mechanism.
