Mapping dirty helpers have, so far, been only used on X86, but a port of vmwgfx to ARM64 exposed a problem which results in a compilation error on ARM64 systems: mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c: In function `wp_clean_pud_entry': mm/mapping_dirty_helpers.c:172:32: error: implicit declaration of function `pud_dirty'; did you mean `pmd_dirty'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] This is due to the fact that mapping_dirty_helpers code assumes that pud_dirty is always defined, which is not the case for architectures that don't define CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD. ARM64 arch is a little inconsistent when it comes to PUD hugepage helpers, e.g. it defines pud_young but not pud_dirty but regardless of that the core kernel code shouldn't assume that any of the PUD hugepage helpers are available unless CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD is defined. This prevents compilation errors whenever one of the drivers is ported to new architectures.

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 Restructured Text 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.
