[PATCH v4 2/3] arm64: Implement page table free interfaces

Tue Mar 20 04:45:13 PDT 2018


Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page().

Implementation requires,
 1) Freeing of the un-used next level page tables
 2) Clearing off the current pud/pmd entry
 3) Invalidate TLB which could have previously
    valid but not stale entry
