arm64: Implement page table free interfaces
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
arm64 requires break-before-make. Originally, before
setting up new pmd/pud entry for huge mapping, in few
cases, the modifying pmd/pud entry was still valid
and pointing to next level page table as we only
clear off leaf PTE in unmap leg.

 a) This was resulting into stale entry in TLBs (as few
    TLBs also cache intermediate mapping for performance
    reasons)
 b) Also, modifying pmd/pud was the only reference to
    next level page table and it was getting lost without
    freeing it. So, page leaks were happening.

Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() to
enforce BBM and also free the leaking page tables.

Implementation requires,
 1) Clearing off the current pud/pmd entry
 2) Invalidation of TLB
 3) Freeing of the un-used next level page tables
