Subject: [PATCH 0/5] NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect and autonuma

We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect or autonuma. We need
to make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in
commit: bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to handle nest MMU hang")
for such updates. This patch series do that.

  mm: Update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take vm_area_struct as arg
  mm: update ptep_modify_prot_commit to take old pte value as arg
  arch/powerpc/mm: Nest MMU workaround for mprotect/autonuma RW upgrade.
  mm/hugetlb: Add prot_modify_start/commit sequence for hugetlb update
  arch/powerpc/mm/hugetlb: NestMMU workaround for hugetlb mprotect RW
