I don't get this one: the x86 asm/page_types.h still includes other
headers outside of the vdso namespace, but you seem to only need these
two definitions that are the same across everything.

Why not put PAGE_MASK and PAGE_SIZE into a global vdso/page.h
header? I did spend a lot of time a few months ago ensuring that
we can have a single definition for all architectures based on
CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT, so all the extra copies should just go away.


Just wondering, after looking at x86, powerpc and arm64, is there any difference between:

X86,ARM64:
#define PAGE_SIZE		(_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK		(~(PAGE_SIZE-1))

POWERPC:
#define PAGE_SIZE		(ASM_CONST(1) << PAGE_SHIFT)
/*
 * Subtle: (1 << PAGE_SHIFT) is an int, not an unsigned long. So if we
 * assign PAGE_MASK to a larger type it gets extended the way we want
 * (i.e. with 1s in the high bits)
 */
#define PAGE_MASK      (~((1 << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1))


Which one should be taken in vdso/page.h ?
