Linux kernel source tree
d2f8671045
There are two pages in one TLB entry on LoongArch system. For kernel space, it requires both two pte entries (buddies) with PAGE_GLOBAL bit set, otherwise HW treats it as non-global tlb, there will be potential problems if tlb entry for kernel space is not global. Such as fail to flush kernel tlb with the function local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() which supposed only flush tlb with global bit. Kernel address space areas include percpu, vmalloc, vmemmap, fixmap and kasan areas. For these areas both two consecutive page table entries should be enabled with PAGE_GLOBAL bit. So with function set_pte() and pte_clear(), pte buddy entry is checked and set besides its own pte entry. However it is not atomic operation to set both two pte entries, there is problem with test_vmalloc test case. So function kernel_pte_init() is added to init a pte table when it is created for kernel address space, and the default initial pte value is PAGE_GLOBAL rather than zero at beginning. Then only its own pte entry need update with function set_pte() and pte_clear(), nothing to do with the pte buddy entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
