Alex Belits 3377e227af MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page tables) for 4K pages.
Some users must have 4K pages while needing a 48-bit VA space size.
The cleanest way do do this is to go to a 4-level page table for this
case.  Each page table level using order-0 pages adds 9 bits to the
VA size (at 4K pages, so for four levels we get 9 * 4 + 12 == 48-bits.

For the 4K page size case only we add support functions for the PUD
level of the page table tree, also the TLB exception handlers get an
extra level of tree walk.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
