Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] arm64: Add support for handling memory corruption

Hi,

This series enables memory failure handling for arm64. Previous
posting can be found at [0].

Changes since v1:

* Reworked Patch 1 based on Catalin's feedbak to symmetrically deal
  with PUD and PMD hugepages in huge_pte_offset()
* Added Steve's acks

With support for contiguous hugepages being turned off[1], some of the
problems arising from swap entries go away[2]. This simplifies the
changes needed to enable memory corruption handling for arm64 (done in
this seris).

In this series, we updates huge_pte_offset() to correctly deal with
swap entries (Patch 1). This function will need to be updated when
contiguous hugepages are re-enabled.

Patch 2 adds support to send SIGBUS to processes that have their
memory corrupted. With the prerequisites in place, enable memory
corruption handling for arm64 (patch 3).

Thanks,
Punit
