[PATCH] arm64: Define only {pud/pmd}_{set/clear}_huge when usefull

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-14 11:08:59

When PUD and/or PMD are folded, those functions are useless
and we now have a stub in linux/pgtable.h

Naresh's original report is here it seems:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CA+G9fYv79t0+2W4Rt3wDkBShc4eY3M3utC5BHqUgGDwMYExYMw@mail.gmail.com/

I can reproduce the failure that he reported with
ARCH=arm64 allmodconfig and this patch resolves it for me.

Cheers,
Nathan

Both this one and the x86 one from the day before fix 1cff41494b15cd82c1ec418bb5c ("mm/pgtable: add 
stubs for {pmd/pub}_{set/clear}_huge")

I think both the x86 fix and the arm64 fix should be squashed into that patch at the end.

I checked, the only other architecture involving pud_set_huge() and friends is powerpc, and powerpc 
doesn't have this problem as it only defined those for book3s/64 platforms which have 4 level page 
tables by definition.

Thanks
Christophe
