Alexandre Ghiti 1a8b2391e0 mm: Introduce pudp/p4dp/pgdp_get() functions
commit eba2591d99d1f14a04c8a8a845ab0795b93f5646 upstream.

Instead of directly dereferencing page tables entries, which can cause
issues (see commit 20a004e7b0 ("arm64: mm: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when
accessing page tables"), let's introduce new functions to get the
pud/p4d/pgd entries (the pte and pmd versions already exist).

Note that arm pgd_t is actually an array so pgdp_get() is defined as a
macro to avoid a build error.

Those new functions will be used in subsequent commits by the riscv
architecture.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
