[PATCH 02/15] alpha: switch to generic version of pte allocation

Fri May 3 01:28:29 AEST 2019


alpha allocates PTE pages with __get_free_page() and uses
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO for the allocations.

Switch it to the generic version that does exactly the same thing for the
kernel page tables and adds __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user PTEs.

The alpha pte_free() and pte_free_kernel() versions are identical to the
generic ones and can be simply dropped.
