Subject: mm/dax: dump start address in fault handler

Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds", v4.
Dax supports pud pages for a while, but mprotect on puds was missing since
the start. This series tries to fix that by providing pud handling in
mprotect(). The goal is to add more types of pud mappings like hugetlb or
pfnmaps. This series paves way for it by fixing known pud entries.
Considering nobody reported this until when I looked at those other types
of pud mappings, I am thinking maybe it doesn't need to be a fix for
stable and this may not need to be backported. I would guess whoever
cares about mprotect() won't care 1G dax puds yet, vice versa. I hope
fixing that in new kernels would be fine, but I'm open to suggestions.
There are a few small things changed to teach mprotect work on PUDs. E.g.
it will need to start with dropping NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES which may stop
making sense when there can be more than one type of huge pte. OTOH,
we'll also need to push the mmu notifiers from pmd to pud layers, which
might need some attention but so far I think it's safe. For such details,
please refer to each patch's commit message.
The mprotect() pud process should be straightforward, as I kept it as
simple as possible. There's no NUMA handled as dax simply doesn't support
that. There's also no userfault involvements as file memory (even if work
with userfault-wp async mode) will need to split a pud, so pud entry
doesn't need to yet know userfault's existance (but hugetlb entries will;
that's also for later).
This patch (of 7):
Currently the dax fault handler dumps the vma range when dynamic debugging
enabled. That's mostly not useful. Dump the (aligned) address instead
with the order info.
