Introduce region-third (PUD) and segment table (PMD) swap entries, and
make hugetlbfs RSTE <-> PTE conversion code aware of them, so that they
can be used for hugetlbfs PTE_MARKER entries. Future work could also
build on this to enable THP_SWAP and THP_MIGRATION for s390.
Similar to PTE swap entries, bits 0-51 can be used to store the swap
offset, but bits 57-61 cannot be used for swap type because that overlaps
with the INVALID and TABLE TYPE bits. PMD/PUD swap entries must be invalid,
and have a correct table type so that pud_folded() check still works.
Bits 53-57 can be used for swap type, but those include the PROTECT bit.
So unlike swap PTEs, the PROTECT bit cannot be used to mark the swap entry.
Use the "Common-Segment/Region" bit 59 instead for that.
Also remove the !MACHINE_HAS_NX check in __set_huge_pte_at(). Otherwise,
that would clear the _SEGMENT_ENTRY_NOEXEC bit also for swap entries, where
it is used for encoding the swap type. The architecture only requires this
bit to be 0 for PTEs, with !MACHINE_HAS_NX, not for segment or region-third
entries. And the check is also redundant, because after __pte_to_rste()
conversion, for non-swap PTEs it would only be set if it was already set in
the PTE, which should never be the case for !MACHINE_HAS_NX.
This is a prerequisite for hugetlbfs PTE_MARKER support on s390, which
is needed to fix a regression introduced with commit

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.
