Linus Torvalds 334b2cea81 x86/mm: Add prot_sethuge() helper to abstract out _PAGE_PSE handling
We still have some historic cases of direct fiddling of page
attributes with (dangerous & fragile) type casting and address shifting.

Add the prot_sethuge() helper instead that gets the types right and
doesn't have to transform addresses.

( Also add a debug check to make sure this doesn't get applied
  to _PAGE_BIT_PAT/_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE pages. )

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.
