There are a number of places in the arch code that read a pte by using the READ_ONCE() macro. Refactor these call sites to instead use the ptep_get() helper, which itself is a READ_ONCE(). Generated code should be the same. This will benefit us when we shortly introduce the transparent contpte support. In this case, ptep_get() will become more complex so we now have all the code abstracted through it. Tested-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ryan Roberts <ryan.roberts@arm.com>
