[PATCH v3 3/5] mm: Speedup mremap on 1GB or larger regions

[Kalesh Singh]

Android needs to move large memory regions for garbage collection.
The GC requires moving physical pages of multi-gigabyte heap
using mremap. During this move, the application threads have to
be paused for correctness. It is critical to keep this pause as
short as possible to avoid jitters during user interaction.

Optimize mremap for >= 1GB-sized regions by moving at the PUD/PGD
level if the source and destination addresses are PUD-aligned.
For CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS == 3, moving at the PUD level in effect moves
PGD entries, since the PUD entry is “folded back” onto the PGD entry.
Add HAVE_MOVE_PUD so that architectures where moving at the PUD level
isn't supported/tested can turn this off by not selecting the config.

Fix build test error from v1 of this series reported by
kernel test robot in [1].

Changes in v2:
  - Update commit message with description of Android GC's use case.
  - Move set_pud_at() to a separate patch.
  - Use switch() instead of ifs in move_pgt_entry()
  - Fix build test error reported by kernel test robot on x86_64 in [1].
    Guard move_huge_pmd() with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE),
    since this section doesn't get optimized out in the kernel test
    robot's build test when HAVE_MOVE_PUD is enabled.
  - Keep WARN_ON_ONCE(1) instead of BUILD_BUG() for the aforementioned
    reason.

Changes in v3:
  - Move get_old_pud() and alloc_new_pud() out of
    #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD.
  - Have get_old_pmd() and alloc_new_pmd() use get_old_pud() and
    alloc_old_pud().
  - Use switch() in get_extent() instead of ifs.
  - Add BUILD_BUG() to default case of get_extent().
  - Replace #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD/PUD in move_page_tables() with
    IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD/PUD).
  - Make lines 80 cols or less, where they don’t need to be longer.
  - s/=  /= /g (Fixed double spaces after '=').
