Subject: [PATCH] mm: introduce ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK_VMALLOC to sync kernel mapping conditionally

From: Jinliang Zheng <alexjlzheng@...cent.com>

After commit 6eb82f994026 ("x86/mm: Pre-allocate P4D/PUD pages for
vmalloc area"), we don't need to synchronize kernel mappings in the
vmalloc area on x86_64.

And commit 58a18fe95e83 ("x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap
mappings") actually does this.

But commit 6659d0279980 ("x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK
and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()") breaks this.

This patch introduces ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK_VMALLOC to avoid
unnecessary kernel mappings synchronization of the vmalloc area.

Fixes: 6659d0279980 ("x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings()")
