mm: change to return bool for pudp_test_and_clear_young()

arch, mm: consolidate empty_zero_page

2026-04-05T20:53:01Z

Reduce 22 declarations of empty_zero_page to 3 and 23 declarations of ZERO_PAGE() to 4. Every architecture defines empty_zero_page that way or another, but for the most of them it is always a page aligned page in BSS and most definitions of ZERO_PAGE do virt_to_page(empty_zero_page). Move Linus vetted x86 definition of empty_zero_page and ZERO_PAGE() to the core MM and drop these definitions in architectures that do not implement colored zero page (MIPS and s390). ZERO_PAGE() remains a macro because turning it to a wrapper for a static inline causes severe pain in header dependencies. For the most part the change is mechanical, with these being noteworthy: * alpha: aliased empty_zero_page with ZERO_PGE that was also used for boot parameters. Switching to a generic empty_zero_page removes the aliasing and keeps ZERO_PGE for boot parameters only * arm64: uses __pa_symbol() in ZERO_PAGE() so that definition of ZERO_PAGE() is kept intact. * m68k/parisc/um: allocated empty_zero_page from memblock, although they do not support zero page coloring and having it in BSS will work fine. * sparc64 can have empty_zero_page in BSS rather allocate it, but it can't use virt_to_page() for BSS. Keep it's definition of ZERO_PAGE() but instead of allocating it, make mem_map_zero point to empty_zero_page. * sh: used empty_zero_page for boot parameters at the very early boot. Rename the parameters page to boot_params_page and let sh use the generic empty_zero_page. * hexagon: had an amusing comment about empty_zero_page /* A handy thing to have if one has the RAM. Declared in head.S */ that unfortunately had to go :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260211103141.3215197-4-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Acked-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Tested-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP) Acked-by: Dave Hansen Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Acked-by: Magnus Lindholm [alpha] Acked-by: Dinh Nguyen [nios2] Acked-by: Andreas Larsson [sparc] Acked-by: David Hildenbrand (Arm) Acked-by: Liam R.

Instead of opencoding, let's use the pre-defined macro (H_RPTI_TYPE_ALL) at the following places.

powerpc/64s: Rename tlbie_lpid_va to tlbie_va_lpid

2026-03-17T08:26:37Z

In previous patch we renamed tlbie_va_lpid functions to tlbie_va_pid_lpid() since those were working with PIDs as well. This then allows us to rename tlbie_lpid_va to tlbie_va_lpid, which finally makes all the tlbie function naming consistent. No functional change in this patch.

powerpc/64s: Rename tlbie_va_lpid to tlbie_va_pid_lpid

2026-03-17T08:26:37Z

It only make sense to rename these functions, so it's better reflect what they are supposed to do. For e.g. __tlbie_va_pid_lpid name better reflect that it is invalidating tlbie using VA, PID and LPID. No functional change in this patch.

powerpc/64s: Kill the unused argument of exit_lazy_flush_tlb

2026-03-17T08:26:37Z

In previous patch we removed the only caller of exit_lazy_flush_tlb() which was passing always_flush = false in it's second argument. With that gone, all the callers of exit_lazy_flush_tlb() are local to radix_pgtable.c and there is no need of an additional argument. This patch does the required cleanup. There should not be any functionality change in this patch.

powerpc/64s: Move serialize_against_pte_lookup() to hash_pgtable.c

2026-03-17T08:26:37Z

Originally, commit fa4531f753f1 ("powerpc/mm: Don't send IPI to all cpus on THP updates") introduced serialize_against_pte_lookup() call for both Radix and Hash. However below commit fixed the race with Radix commit 70cbc3cc78a9 ("mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP collapse") And therefore following commit removed the serialize_against_pte_lookup() call from radix_pgtable.c commit bedf03416913 ("powerpc/64s/radix: don't need to broadcast IPI for radix pmd collapse flush") Now since serialize_against_pte_lookup() only gets called from hash__pmdp_collapse_flush(), thus move the related functions to hash_pgtable.c Hence this patch: - moves serialize_against_pte_lookup() from radix_pgtable.c to hash_pgtable.c - removes the radix specific calls from do_serialize() - renames do_serialize() to do_nothing(). There should not be any functionality change in this patch.
