Subject: arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after pmd_mknotpresent()
From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
commit 5bb1cc0ff9a6b68871970737e6c4c16919928d8b upstream.
Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning
true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits).
This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the
other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for
PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with
transparent huge pages.
For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the
PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block
mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE
definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot
values.
Fixes: 9c7e535fcc17 ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte equivalents")
