thp: Introduce arch_(un)block_thp_split
In kernel/futex.c an assumption is made in the THP tail pinning code that disabling the irqs is sufficient to block the THP splitting code from completing. Architectures such as ARM do hardware TLB broadcasts so disabling the irqs will not prevent a THP split from completing. This patch introduces: arch_block_thp_split and arch_unblock_thp_split, and provides stock implementations that observe the original irq enable and disable behaviour. One can then define these macros themselves to implement architecture specific behaviour. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@linaro.org>
