[PATCH v2] [RFC] ARM: modify pgd_t definition for TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD

[Arnd Bergmann]

I ran into build errors on ARM after Willy's newly added generic
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD support. We don't support this feature
on ARM at all, but the patch causes a build error anyway:

In file included from ../kernel/memremap.c:17:0:
../include/linux/pfn_t.h:108:7: error: 'pud_mkdevmap' declared as function returning an array
 pud_t pud_mkdevmap(pud_t pud);

We don't use a PUD on ARM, so pud_t is defined as pmd_t, which
in turn is defined as

typedef unsigned long pgd_t[2];

on NOMMU and on 2-level MMU configurations. There is an (unused)
other definition using a struct around the array, which happens to
work fine here.

There is a comment in the file about the fact the other version
is "easier on the compiler", and I've traced that version back
to linux-2.1.80 when ARM support was first merged back in 1998.

It's probably a safe assumption that this is no longer necessary:
The same logic existed in asm-i386 at the time but was removed
a year later in 2.3.23pre3. The STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS logic
also ended up getting copied into other architectures, which
use them in various ways:

* both defined, but using strict:
arch/alpha/include/asm/page.h:#define STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/sparc/include/asm/page_64.h:#define STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/ia64/include/asm/page.h:#  define STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/parisc/include/asm/page.h:#define STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS

* both defined, but using non-strict:
arch/arc/include/asm/page.h:#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-2level-types.h:#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level-types.h:#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/arm64/include/asm/pgtable-types.h:#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
arch/sparc/include/asm/page_32.h:/* #define STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS */
arch/unicore32/include/asm/page.h:#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS

* Kconfig option:
arch/powerpc/Kconfig.debug:config STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS
			 	default n

Everthing else uses only the strict definitions.

For the moment, this only does the minimal change to fix things
on ARM in linux-next. At least in case of sparc32, passing structs
to functions is traditionally inefficient and the non-strict version
should be kept, whether we change any of the other architectures
depends on further testing.
