arm64: hugetlbpage: avoid unused-but-set-parameter warning (gcc-16)

2026-02-19T12:33:52Z

gcc-16 warns about an instance that older compilers did not: arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c: In function 'huge_pte_clear': arch/arm64/mm/hugetlbpage.c:369:57: error: parameter 'addr' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter=] The issue here is that __pte_clear() does not actually use its second argument, but when CONFIG_ARM64_CONTPTE is enabled it still gets updated. Replace the macro with an inline function to let the compiler see the argument getting passed down.

arm64: mm: implement the architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes()

2026-02-12T23:43:00Z

Implement the Arm64 architecture-specific clear_flush_young_ptes() to enable batched checking of young flags and TLB flushing, improving performance during large folio reclamation. Performance testing: Allocate 10G clean file-backed folios by mmap() in a memory cgroup, and try to reclaim 8G file-backed folios via the memory.reclaim interface. I can observe 33% performance improvement on my Arm64 32-core server (and 10%+ improvement on my X86 machine). Meanwhile, the hotspot folio_check_references() dropped from approximately 35% to around 5%.

arm64: mm: support batch clearing of the young flag for large folios

2026-02-12T23:43:00Z

Currently, contpte_ptep_test_and_clear_young() and contpte_ptep_clear_flush_young() only clear the young flag and flush TLBs for PTEs within the contiguous range. To support batch PTE operations for other sized large folios in the following patches, adding a new parameter to specify the number of PTEs that map consecutive pages of the same large folio in a single VMA and a single page table. While we are at it, rename the functions to maintain consistency with other contpte_*() functions.

mm: provide address parameter to p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page()

2026-01-27T04:02:35Z

On several powerpc platforms, a page table entry may not imply whether the relevant mapping is for userspace or kernelspace. Instead, such platforms infer this by the address which is being accessed. Add an additional address argument to each of these routines in order to provide support for page table check on powerpc.

mm/page_table_check: provide addr parameter to page_table_check_ptes_set()

2026-01-27T04:02:34Z

To provide support for powerpc platforms, provide an addr parameter to the __page_table_check_ptes_set() and page_table_check_ptes_set() routines. This parameter is needed on some powerpc platforms which do not encode whether a mapping is for user or kernel in the pte. On such platforms, this can be inferred from the addr parameter.
