Naoya Horiguchi eee4818baa mm: x86: move _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY from bit 7 to bit 1 
_PAGE_PSE is used to distinguish between a truly non-present
(_PAGE_PRESENT=0) PMD, and a PMD which is undergoing a THP split and
should be treated as present.

But _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY currently uses the _PAGE_PSE bit, which would
cause confusion between one of those PMDs undergoing a THP split, and a
soft-dirty PMD.  Dropping _PAGE_PSE check in pmd_present() does not work
well, because it can hurt optimization of tlb handling in thp split.

Thus, we need to move the bit.

In the current kernel, bits 1-4 are not used in non-present format since
commit 00839ee3b2 ("x86/mm: Move swap offset/type up in PTE to work
around erratum").  So let's move _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY to bit 1.  Bit 7
is used as reserved (always clear), so please don't use it for other
purpose.

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.
