When the mmu_feature_keys[] was introduced in the commit c12e6f24d413

default_topology does not fit arm64, especially CPU and cache topology.
Add arm64_topology, so we can do more based on CONFIG_GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY.

There are currently 2 ways to create a set of sysfs files for a

Currently, we clear PG_anon_exclusive in try_to_unmap() and forget about
it. We do this, to keep fork() logic on swap entries easy and efficient:
for example, if we wouldn't clear it when unmapping, we'd have to lookup
the page in the swapcache for each and every swap entry during fork() and

Let's use one of the type bits: core-mm only supports 5, so there is no
need to consume 6.
Note that we might be able to reuse bit 1, but reusing bit 1 turned out
problematic in the past for PROT_NONE handling; so let's play safe and
use another bit.

Bit 52 and bit 55 don't have to be zero: they only trigger a
translation-specifiation exception if the PTE is marked as valid, which
is not the case for swap ptes.

The swap type is simply stored in bits 0x1f of the swap pte. Let's
simplify by just getting rid of _PAGE_BIT_SWAP_TYPE. It's not like that
we can simply change it: _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY would suddenly fall into

Right now, the last 5 bits (0x1f) of the swap entry are used for the

cannot use 0x40, as that collides with _RPAGE_RSV1 -- contained in

Wait for completion of write transfers before returning from the driver.
At first sight it may seem advantageous to leave write transfers queued
for the controller to carry out on its own time, but there's a couple of
