commit ba925fa35057a062ac98c3e8138b013ce4ce351c upstream. During s390_enable_sie(), we need to take care of splitting all qemu user process THP mappings. This is currently done with follow_page(FOLL_SPLIT), by simply iterating over all vma ranges, with PAGE_SIZE increment. This logic is sub-optimal and can result in a lot of unnecessary overhead, especially when using qemu and ASAN with large shadow map. Ilya reported significant system slow-down with one CPU busy for a long time and overall unresponsiveness. Fix this by using walk_page_vma() and directly calling split_huge_pmd() only for present pmds, which greatly reduces overhead.

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.
