hugetlb: skip to end of PT page mapping when pte not present
HugeTLB address ranges are linearly scanned during fork, unmap and remap operations. If a non-present entry is encountered, the code currently continues to the next huge page aligned address. However, a non-present entry implies that the page table page for that entry is not present. Therefore, the linear scan can skip to the end of range mapped by the page table page. This can speed operations on large sparsely populated hugetlb mappings. Create a new routine hugetlb_mask_last_page() that will return an address mask. When the mask is ORed with an address, the result will be the address of the last huge page mapped by the associated page table page. Use this mask to update addresses in routines which linearly scan hugetlb address ranges when a non-present pte is encountered. hugetlb_mask_last_page is related to the implementation of huge_pte_offset as hugetlb_mask_last_page is called when huge_pte_offset returns NULL. This patch only provides a complete hugetlb_mask_last_page implementation when CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB is defined. Architectures which provide their own versions of huge_pte_offset can also provide their own version of hugetlb_mask_last_page.
