Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] riscv: Use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for pte accesses

This series is a follow-up for riscv of a recent series from Ryan [1] which
converts all direct dereferences of pte_t into a ptet_get() access.

The goal here for riscv is to use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for all page
table entries accesses to avoid any compiler transformation when the
hardware can concurrently modify the page tables entries (A/D bits for
example).

I went a bit further and added pud/p4d/pgd_get() helpers as such concurrent
modifications can happen too at those levels.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230612151545.3317766-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/

Changes in v2:
- Fix the kernel test report on arm32
- Remove the pte suffix patch
- Fix pud_offset/p4d_offset which were missing the use of accessors
- Rebase on top of 6.7-rc4

Alexandre Ghiti (4):
  riscv: Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting page table entries
  mm: Introduce pudp/p4dp/pgdp_get() functions
  riscv: mm: Only compile pgtable.c if MMU
  riscv: Use accessors to page table entries instead of direct
    dereference
