[PATCH 3.16 104/131] mm/pagewalk: remove pgd_entry() and pud_entry()

From: Ben Hutchings <hidden>
Date: 2018-09-29 21:56:23
Also in: lkml

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Naoya Horiguchi <redacted>

commit 0b1fbfe50006c41014cc25660c0e735d21c34939 upstream.

Currently no user of page table walker sets ->pgd_entry() or
->pud_entry(), so checking their existence in each loop is just wasting
CPU cycle.  So let's remove it to reduce overhead.
