Hi Greg,
These patches are backported to make LPAE more robust, most of which
are important bugfixs. So I suggest merging them into 3.10.
For ARM, when LPAE is triggered, 40-bit physical address is available,
translation table becomes 3-level, and every table entry is 64 bit
instead of 32. However, 3.10 does not well adapt to the change, So
comes this series of patches.
There are 12 patches, 9 of which can be cherry-picked cleanly, the
rest needs to be adjusted. Patch information as follows:
PART 1: patches that can be cleanly applied:
dde1b65 ARM: mm: correct pte_same behaviour for LPAE.
926edcc ARM: LPAE: use signed arithmetic for mask definitions
20d6956 ARM: LPAE: use phys_addr_t in alloc_init_pud()
5b20c5b ARM: fix type of PHYS_PFN_OFFSET to unsigned long
e38a517 ARM: lpae: fix definition of PTE_HWTABLE_PTRS
237f123 ARM: 7866/1: include: asm: use 'long long' instead of
'u64' within atomic.h
4dcc1cf ARM: 7867/1: include: asm: use 'int' instead of
'unsigned long' for 'oldval' in atomic_cmpxchg().
efea340 ARM: 7931/1: Correct virt_addr_valid
6b07699 ARM: DMA: ensure that old section mappings are flushed
from the TLB
PART 2: patches that should be adjusted:
b713aa0 ARM: fix asm/memory.h build error
f295070 ARM: 8108/1: mm: Introduce {pte,pmd}_isset and
{pte,pmd}_isclear
ded9477 ARM: 8109/1: mm: Modify pte_write and pmd_write
logic for LPAE
Thanks!

hi, Greg, these patches are important fixes to LPAE, I posted them half
a month ago, but haven't received your reply. Would you please have a
review of them to make sure if it make sense to merge them into 3.10 stable?
Looking forward to you apply.
