[PATCH v7 0/9] arm64: Enable contiguous pte hugepage support

Hi,

This series re-enables contiguous hugepage support for arm64.

Changes in v7 -

* Patch 4 - "Add break-before-make logic for contiguous entries"
  - get_clear_flush() - unconditionally clear the ptes (even if they
    are not present). This is to bring huge_ptep_get_and_clear()
    in line with generic implementation.
  - get_clear_flush() - Only flush the TLBs if the cleared entry was
    valid.
  - huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() - simplified based on Catalin's
    feedback.

* Patch 6 - "Override huge_pte_clear() to support"
  - Address compile warnings due to non-existence of certain levels of
    the page table when using 16 and 64k pages.

All the dependent series ([2], [3]) for enabling contiguous hugepage
support have been merged in the previous cycle. Additionally, a patch
to clarify the semantics of huge_pte_offset() in generic code[6] is
currently in the -mm tree.

Previous postings can be found at [0], [1], [4], [5], [7].

The patches are based on v4.13-rc6. If there are no further comments
please consider merging for the next release cycle.

Thanks,
Punit
