Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications". This series is a follow up to the fixes: "[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking" When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks). Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident. As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should always be disabled (!SMP). Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks are still getting used where we would expect them. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options. More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
