When operating on contiguous blocks of ptes (or pmds) for some hugetlb
sizes, we must honour break-before-make requirements and clear down the
block to invalid state in the pgtable then invalidate the relevant tlb
entries before making the pgtable entries valid again.
However, the tlb maintenance is currently always done assuming the worst
case stride (PAGE_SIZE), last_level (false) and tlb_level
(TLBI_TTL_UNKNOWN). We can do much better with the hinting; In reality,
we know the stride from the huge_pte pgsize, we are always operating
only on the last level, and we always know the tlb_level, again based on
pgsize. So let's start providing these hints.
Additionally, avoid tlb maintenace in set_huge_pte_at().
Break-before-make is only required if we are transitioning the
contiguous pte block from valid -> valid. So let's elide the
clear-and-flush ("break") if the pte range was previously invalid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
