Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] arm64: Add support for handling memory corruption

Hi,

This series enables memory failure handling for arm64. Previous
posting can be found at [0] and [1].

Changelog

v2 -> v3:

* Added a new patch to update the perf accounting for fault handling
  (patch 3)
* Added test and review tags

v1 -> v2:

* 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[2], some of the
problems arising from swap entries go away[3]. 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.

Patch 3 updates the perf accounting for memory faults to exclude
hwpoison faults.

With the prerequisites in place, enable memory corruption handling for
arm64 (patch 4).

Thanks,
Punit
