This build failure is expected now given that we have allowed DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE
with EXPERT without platform requiring ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. This problem
i.e build failure caused without a platform __pgd(), is known to exist both on
ia64 and arm (32bit) platforms. Please refer https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/24/314
for details where this was discussed earlier.


I'd prefer not to merge a patch which is known to cause build
regressions.  Is there some temporary thing we can do to prevent these
errors until arch maintainers(?) get around to implementing the
long-term fixes?

We could explicitly disable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE on ia64 and arm platforms
which will ensure that others can still use the EXPERT path.

config DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE
        bool "Debug arch page table for semantics compliance"
        depends on MMU
        depends on !(IA64 || ARM)
        depends on ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE || EXPERT
        default n if !ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE
        default y if DEBUG_VM


On both ia32 and arm, the fix is trivial.

Can we include the fix within this patch, just the same way as the mm_p4d_folded() fix for x86 ?

Christophe
