[PATCH v9 02/14] mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

From: Yu Zhao <hidden>
Date: 2022-03-09 02:13:41
Also in: linux-doc, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management - core, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 mm · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski, Peter Zijlstra

Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries,
e.g., x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it
as part of linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that
clear the accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search
space.

Note that:
1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added
   as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros.
2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was
   only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs.

     Volume 3 (June 2021), section 4.8
