Most architectures have identical or very similar implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_alloc_one(), pte_free_kernel() and pte_free(). Add a generic implementation that can be reused across architectures and enable its use on x86. The generic implementation uses GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO for the kernel page tables and GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO | __GFP_ACCOUNT for the user page tables. The "base" functions for PTE allocation, namely __pte_alloc_one_kernel() and __pte_alloc_one() are intended for the architectures that require additional actions after actual memory allocation or must use non-default GFP flags. x86 is switched to use generic pte_alloc_one_kernel(), pte_free_kernel() and pte_free(). x86 still implements pte_alloc_one() to allow run-time control of GFP flags required for "userpte" command line option.

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.
