Hi all, This is a reposting of the patch series I sent previously to rework the sparc32 page-table layout so that 'pmd_t' can be used safely with READ_ONCE(): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200324104005.11279-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx This is blocking the READ_ONCE() rework, which in turn allows us to bump the minimum GCC version for building the kernel up to 4.8.
