[PATCH 3.16 104/131] mm/pagewalk: remove pgd_entry() and pud_entry()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Sep 29 2018 - 17:56:23 EST


3.16.59-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0b1fbfe50006c41014cc25660c0e735d21c34939 upstream.

Currently no user of page table walker sets ->pgd_entry() or
->pud_entry(), so checking their existence in each loop is just wasting
CPU cycle. So let's remove it to reduce overhead.
