Problem: On large page size configurations (16KiB, 64KiB), the CMA
alignment requirement (CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES) increases considerably,
and this causes the CMA reservations to be larger than necessary. This
means that system will have less available MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE and
MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE page blocks since MIGRATE_CMA can't fallback to them.
The CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES increases because it depends on MAX_PAGE_ORDER
which depends on ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. The value of ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER
increases on 16k and 64k kernels.
For example, in ARM, the CMA alignment requirement when:
- CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER default value is used
- CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is set:
PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4KiB | 10 | 9 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 9) = 2MiB
16Kib | 11 | 11 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 11) = 32MiB
64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB
There are some extreme cases for the CMA alignment requirement when:
- CONFIG_ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER maximum value is set
- CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is NOT set:
- CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE is NOT set
PAGE_SIZE | MAX_PAGE_ORDER | pageblock_order | CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4KiB | 15 | 15 | 4KiB * (2 ^ 15) = 128MiB
16Kib | 13 | 13 | 16KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 128MiB
64KiB | 13 | 13 | 64KiB * (2 ^ 13) = 512MiB
This affects the CMA reservations for the drivers. If a driver in a
4KiB kernel needs 4MiB of CMA memory, in a 16KiB kernel, the minimal
reservation has to be 32MiB due to the alignment requirements:
reserved-memory {
...
cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve {
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
size = <0x0 0x400000>; /* 4 MiB */
...
};
};
reserved-memory {
...
cma_test_reserve: cma_test_reserve {
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
size = <0x0 0x2000000>; /* 32 MiB */
...
};
};
Solution: Add a new config CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER that allows to set the
page block order in all the architectures. The maximum page block order
will be given by ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER.
By default, CONFIG_PAGE_BLOCK_ORDER will have the same value that
ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER. This will make sure that current kernel
configurations won't be affected by this change. It is a opt-in change.
This patch will allow to have the same CMA alignment requirements for
large page sizes (16KiB, 64KiB) as that in 4kb kernels by setting a lower
pageblock_order.
Tests:
- Verified that HugeTLB pages work when pageblock_order is 1, 7, 10 on
4k and 16k kernels.
- Verified that Transparent Huge Pages work when pageblock_order is 1,
7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels.
- Verified that dma-buf heaps allocations work when pageblock_order is
1, 7, 10 on 4k and 16k kernels.
Benchmarks:
The benchmarks compare 16kb kernels with pageblock_order 10 and 7. The
reason for the pageblock_order 7 is because this value makes the min CMA
alignment requirement the same as that in 4kb kernels (2MB).
- Perform 100K dma-buf heaps (/dev/dma_heap/system) allocations of
SZ_8M, SZ_4M, SZ_2M, SZ_1M, SZ_64, SZ_8, SZ_4. Use simpleperf
(https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/simpleperf) to measure the #
of instructions and page-faults on 16k kernels. The benchmark was
executed 10 times. The averages are below:
# instructions | #page-faults

Commit 87482708210ff3333a ("mm: introduce numa_memblks") has moved
numa_memblks from x86 to the generic code, but LoongArch was left out
of this conversion.
This patch introduces the generic numa_memblks for LoongArch.
In detail:
1. Enable NUMA_MEMBLKS (but disable NUMA_EMU) in Kconfig;
2. Use generic definition for numa_memblk and numa_meminfo;
3. Use generic implementation for numa_add_memblk() and its friends;
4. Use generic implementation for numa_set_distance() and its friends;
5. Use generic implementation for memory_add_physaddr_to_nid() and its
friends.
Note: Disable NUMA_EMU because it needs more efforts and no obvious
demand now.

Originally, the file pages collapse was intended for tmpfs/shmem to merge
into THP in the background. However, now not only tmpfs/shmem can support
large folios, but some other file systems (such as XFS, erofs ...) also
support large folios. Therefore, it is time to decouple the support of
file folios collapse from SHMEM.

With KHO (Kexec HandOver), we need a way to ensure that the new kernel
does not allocate memory on top of any memory regions that the previous
kernel was handing over. But to know where those are, we need to include
them in the memblock.reserved array which may not be big enough to hold
all ranges that need to be persisted across kexec. To resize the array,
we need to allocate memory. That brings us into a catch 22 situation.
The solution to that is limit memblock allocations to the scratch regions:
safe regions to operate in the case when there is memory that should
remain intact across kexec.
KHO provides several "scratch regions" as part of its metadata. These
scratch regions are contiguous memory blocks that known not to contain any
memory that should be persisted across kexec. These regions should be
large enough to accommodate all memblock allocations done by the kexeced
kernel.
We introduce a new memblock_set_scratch_only() function that allows KHO to
indicate that any memblock allocation must happen from the scratch
regions.
Later, we may want to perform another KHO kexec. For that, we reuse the
same scratch regions. To ensure that no eventually handed over data gets
allocated inside a scratch region, we flip the semantics of the scratch
region with memblock_clear_scratch_only(): After that call, no allocations
may happen from scratch memblock regions. We will lift that restriction
in the next patch.

... and don't error out so hard on missing module descriptions.
Before commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').
After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.
And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary. As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.
The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself. And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.
So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage. Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.
- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.
- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and

docs.
- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank

Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.

David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.
- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.

powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.

from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.

updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.

in large folios
We're close to the finishing line: let's introduce a new
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT config option where we will incrementally remove
any dependencies on per-page mapcounts in large folios. Once that's done,
we'll stop maintaining the per-page mapcounts with this config option
enabled.
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT will be EXPERIMENTAL for now, as we'll have to
learn about some of the real world impact of some of the implications.
As writing "!CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" is really nasty, let's introduce a
helper config option "CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" that expresses the negation.

For small folios, we traditionally use the mapcount to decide whether it
was "certainly mapped exclusively" by a single MM (mapcount == 1) or
whether it "maybe mapped shared" by multiple MMs (mapcount > 1). For
PMD-sized folios that were PMD-mapped, we were able to use a similar
mechanism (single PMD mapping), but for PTE-mapped folios and in the
future folios that span multiple PMDs, this does not work.
So we need a different mechanism to handle large folios. Let's add a new
mechanism to detect whether a large folio is "certainly mapped
exclusively", or whether it is "maybe mapped shared".
We'll use this information next to optimize CoW reuse for PTE-mapped
anonymous THP, and to convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to
folio_maybe_mapped_shared(), independent of per-page mapcounts.
For each large folio, we'll have two slots, whereby a slot stores:
(1) an MM id: unique id assigned to each MM
(2) a per-MM mapcount
If a slot is unoccupied, it can be taken by the next MM that maps folio
page.
In addition, we'll remember the current state -- "mapped exclusively" vs.
"maybe mapped shared" -- and use a bit spinlock to sync on updates and to
reduce the total number of atomic accesses on updates. In the future, it
might be possible to squeeze a proper spinlock into "struct folio". For
now, keep it simple, as we require the whole thing with THP only, that is
incompatible with RT.
As we have to squeeze this information into the "struct folio" of even
folios of order-1 (2 pages), and we generally want to reduce the required
metadata, we'll assign each MM a unique ID that can fit into an int. In
total, we can squeeze everything into 4x int (2x long) on 64bit.
32bit support is a bit challenging, because we only have 2x long == 2x int
in order-1 folios. But we can make it work for now, because we neither
expect many MMs nor very large folios on 32bit.
We will reliably detect folios as "mapped exclusively" vs. "mapped
shared" as long as only two MMs map pages of a folio at one point in time
-- for example with fork() and short-lived child processes, or with apps
that hand over state from one instance to another.
As soon as three MMs are involved at the same time, we might detect "maybe
mapped shared" although the folio is "mapped exclusively".
Example 1:
(1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0
(2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1
(4) App1 unmaps all folio pages
-> We will detect "mapped exclusively".
Example 2:
(1) App1 faults in a (shmem/file-backed) folio page -> Tracked as MM0
(2) App2 faults in a folio page -> Tracked as MM1
(3) App3 faults in a folio page -> No slot available, tracked as "unknown"
(4) App1 and App2 unmap all folio pages
-> We will detect "maybe mapped shared".
Make use of __always_inline to keep possible performance degradation when
(un)mapping large folios to a minimum.
Note: by squeezing the two flags into the "unsigned long" that stores the
MM ids, we can use non-atomic __bit_spin_unlock() and non-atomic
setting/clearing of the "maybe mapped shared" bit, effectively not adding
any new atomics on the hot path when updating the large mapcount + new
metadata, which further helps reduce the runtime overhead in
micro-benchmarks.

Add functions that are called just before the per-section memmap is
initialized and just before the memmap page structures are initialized.
They are called sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early and
sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_late, respectively.
This allows for mm subsystems to add calls to initialize memmap and page
structures in a specific way, if using SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Specifically,
hugetlb can pre-HVO bootmem allocated pages that way, so that no time and
resources are wasted on allocating vmemmap pages, only to free them later
(and possibly unnecessarily running the system out of memory in the
process).
Refactor some code and export a few convenience functions for external
use.
In sparse_init_nid, skip any sections that are already initialized, e.g.
they have been initialized by sparse_vmemmap_init_nid_early already.
The hugetlb code to use these functions will be added in a later commit.
Export section_map_size, as any alternate memmap init code will want to
use it.
The internal config option to enable this is SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT,
which is selected if an architecture-specific option,
ARCH_WANT_HUGETLB_VMEMMAP_PREINIT, is set. In the future, if other
subsystems want to do preinit too, they can do it in a similar fashion.
The internal config option is there because a section flag is used, and
the number of flags available is architecture-dependent (see mmzone.h).
Architecures can decide if there is room for the flag when enabling
options that select SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_PREINIT.
Fortunately, as of right now, all sparse vmemmap using architectures do
have room.

The zbud compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use
zsmalloc. zbud consumes much more memory (only stores 1 or 2 compressed
pages per physical page). The only advantage of zbud is a marginal
performance improvement that by no means justify the memory overhead.
Historically, zsmalloc had significantly worse latency than zbud and
z3fold but offered better memory savings. This is no longer the case as
shown by a simple recent analysis [1]. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in
a limited cgroup, zbud 2-3% less time than zsmalloc, but at the cost of
using ~32% more memory (1.5G vs 1.13G). The tradeoff does not make sense
for zbud in any practical scenario.
The only alleged advantage of zbud is not having the dependency on
CONFIG_MMU, but CONFIG_SWAP already depends on CONFIG_MMU anyway, and zbud
is only used by zswap.
Remove zbud after z3fold's removal, leaving zsmalloc as the one and only
zpool allocator. Leave the removal of the zpool API (and its associated
config options) to a followup cleanup after no more allocators show up.
Deprecating zbud for a few cycles before removing it was initially
proposed [2], like z3fold was marked as deprecated for 2 cycles [3].
However, Johannes rightfully pointed out that the 2 cycles is too short
for most downstream consumers, and z3fold was deprecated first only as a
courtesy anyway.

Patch series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud", v2.
After 2 cycles of deprecating z3fold, remove it as well as zbud (rationale
in specific patches).
This patch (of 2):
Z3fold has been marked as deprecated for 2 cycles and no one complained,
as expected. As there are no known users, remove the code now.

kvfree_rcu() is batched for better performance except on TINY_RCU, which
is a simple implementation for small UP systems. Similarly SLUB_TINY is
an option intended for small systems, whether or not used together with
TINY_RCU. In case SLUB_TINY is used with !TINY_RCU, it makes arguably
sense to not do the batching and limit the memory footprint. It's also
suboptimal to have RCU-specific #ifdefs in slab code.
With that, add CONFIG_KVFREE_RCU_BATCHED to determine whether batching
kvfree_rcu() implementation is used. It is not set by a user prompt, but
enabled by default and disabled in case TINY_RCU or SLUB_TINY are
enabled.
Use the new config for #ifdef's in slab code and extend their scope to
cover all code used by the batched kvfree_rcu(). For example there's no
need to perform kvfree_rcu_init() if the batching is disabled.

Memory hotplug presently auto-onlines memory into a zone the kernel deems
appropriate if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE=y.
The memhp_default_state boot param enables runtime config, but it's not
possible to do this at build-time.
Remove CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE, and replace it with
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_* choices that sync with the boot param.
Selections:
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_OFFLINE
=> mhp_default_online_type = "offline"
Memory will not be onlined automatically.
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_AUTO
=> mhp_default_online_type = "online"
Memory will be onlined automatically in a zone deemed.
appropriate by the kernel.
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_KERNEL

The zone may allow kernel data (e.g. ZONE_NORMAL).
CONFIG_MHP_DEFAULT_ONLINE_TYPE_ONLINE_MOVABLE
=> mhp_default_online_type = "online_movable"
Memory will be onlined automatically.

Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some
high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or
tcmalloc. These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE)
to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will
release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage.
The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually
happened on our server:
VIRT: 55t
RES: 590g
VmPTE: 110g
In this case, most of the page table entries are empty. For such a PTE
page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the
system for others to use.
As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE
pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case. We will detect and free empty PTE
pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude
cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within
the pte lock. If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path).
Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd
and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect
whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path).
For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.
The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization:
mmap 50G
while (1) {
for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) {
touch 2M memory
madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M
}
}
As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced:

finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from
libc
- AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are
getting close with the upcoming dpISA support)
- Other arch features:
- In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously
only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)
- MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests
- Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions
- Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
- Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations
- POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing
the signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12

- Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver
- Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver
- Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC
- Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU
- Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access
control
- Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns
'void'
- Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver
- Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:
- Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding
- Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn
- ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
gtdt_parse_timer_block()

We want to use the functions (get_free_mem_region()) configured via
GET_FREE_REGION in resource kunit tests. However, GET_FREE_REGION
depends on SPARSEMEM now. This makes resource kunit tests cannot be
built on some architectures lacking SPARSEMEM, or causes config warning
as follows,
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for GET_FREE_REGION
Depends on [n]: SPARSEMEM [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- RESOURCE_KUNIT_TEST [=y] && RUNTIME_TESTING_MENU [=y] && KUNIT [=y]
When get_free_mem_region() was introduced the only consumers were those
looking to pass the address range to memremap_pages(). That address
range needed to be mindful of the maximum addressable platform physical
address which at the time only SPARSMEM defined via MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS.
Given that memremap_pages() also depended on SPARSEMEM via ZONE_DEVICE,
it was easier to just depend on that definition than invent a general
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS concept outside of SPARSEMEM.
Turns out that decision was buggy and did not account for KASAN
consumption of physical address space. That problem was resolved
recently with commit ea72ce5da228 ("x86/kaslr: Expose and use the end
of the physical memory address space"), and GET_FREE_REGION dropped its
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS dependency.
Then commit 99185c10d5d9 ("resource, kunit: add test case for
region_intersects()"), went ahead and fixed up the only remaining
dependency on SPARSEMEM which was usage of the PA_SECTION_SHIFT macro
for setting the default alignment. A PAGE_SIZE fallback is fine in the
SPARSEMEM=n case.
With those build dependencies gone GET_FREE_REGION no longer depends on
SPARSEMEM. So, the patch removes dependency on SPARSEMEM from
GET_FREE_REGION to fix the build issues.

SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4". Unfortunately, that
evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option. This
results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig. This in turn
causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging
options are enabled.
Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does
not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry
always evaluates to false. Example:
config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS
def_bool y
depends on !NR_CPUS
After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes:
$ grep NR_CPUS .config
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y
Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures
define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations.
Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.
