Subject: [RFC 10/10] mm: thp: x86: cleanup PSE feature bit usage
Date: Thu,  6 Nov 2025 16:28:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8dc0695aa1c1073ec475be18e300ec1046344e84.1762464515.git.luizcap@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1762464515.git.luizcap@redhat.com>

Historically, THP support on x86 checked the PSE feature bit to enable
THP. On 64-bit, this check is redundant since PSE is always enabled by
default for compatibility. On 32-bit, PSE enables 4MB page support and
must be checked. To clean this up, this commit:

1. Drops arch_has_pmd_leaves() from common x86 code. For 64-bit,
   we assume PMD-sized pages are always supported

2. Checks for PSE only on 32-bit, using arch_has_pmd_leaves()
