[PATCH 05/12] mm: enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE for arc, microblaze, xtensa

From: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)

Date: Tue Sep 01 2026 - 07:10:41 EST


Each of these architectures directly free page tables without routing these
changes through tlb_remove_ptdesc().

The use of tlb_remove_ptdesc() is required for
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to correctly free page tables under RCU,
so simply update these architectures to use these functions.

Since none of the architectures share page tables or do anything unusual,
nothing complicated is required here.

Therefore this is simply a mechanical change - convert __pud_free_tlb(),
__pmd_free_tlb() and __pte_free_tlb() to use tlb_remove_ptdesc() as
required.

At the point this is in place, all mmu_gather page table freeing is
performed under RCU, and thus MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected for
each architecture.

This forms part of an overall effort to switch every architecture to this
mode.
