This series is a follow-up for riscv of a recent series from Ryan [1] which
converts all direct dereferences of pte_t into a ptet_get() access.
The goal here for riscv is to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for all page
table entries accesses to avoid any compiler transformation when the
hardware can concurrently modify the page tables entries (A/D bits for
example).
I went a bit further and added pud/p4d/pgd_get() helpers as such concurrent
modifications can happen too at those levels.

Changes in v2:
- Fix the kernel test report on arm32
- Remove the pte suffix patch
- Fix pud_offset/p4d_offset which were missing the use of accessors
- Rebase on top of 6.7-rc4
Alexandre Ghiti (4):
riscv: Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting page table entries
mm: Introduce pudp/p4dp/pgdp_get() functions
riscv: mm: Only compile pgtable.c if MMU
riscv: Use accessors to page table entries instead of direct
dereference
