	arm64/mm: Change THP helpers to comply with generic MM semantics
pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() are expected to behave in the following manner during various phases of a given PMD. It is derived from a previous detailed discussion on this topic [1] and present THP documentation [2]. pmd_present(pmd): - Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM with a valid pmd_page(pmd) - Returns false if pmd refers to a migration or swap entry pmd_trans_huge(pmd): - Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM and is a trans huge mapping ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | PMD states | pmd_present | pmd_trans_huge | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mapped | Yes | Yes | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Splitting | Yes | Yes | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Migration/Swap | No | No | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem: PMD is first invalidated with pmdp_invalidate() before it's splitting. This invalidation clears PMD_SECT_VALID as below. PMD Split -> pmdp_invalidate() -> pmd_mkinvalid -> Clears PMD_SECT_VALID Once PMD_SECT_VALID gets cleared, it results in pmd_present() return false on the PMD entry. It will need another bit apart from PMD_SECT_VALID to re- affirm pmd_present() as true during the THP split process. To comply with above mentioned semantics, pmd_trans_huge() should also check pmd_present() first before testing presence of an actual transparent huge mapping. The solution: Ideally PMD_TYPE_SECT should have been used here instead. But it shares the bit position with PMD_SECT_VALID which is used for THP invalidation. Hence it will not be there for pmd_present() check after pmdp_invalidate(). A new software defined PMD_PRESENT_INVALID (bit 59) can be set on the PMD entry during invalidation which can help pmd_present() return true and in recognizing the fact that it still points to memory. This bit is transient. During the split process it will be overridden by a page table page representing normal pages in place of erstwhile huge page. Other pmdp_invalidate() callers always write a fresh PMD value on the entry overriding this transient PMD_PRESENT_INVALID bit, which makes it safe.
