The (new) page-table walker in arch_perf_get_page_size() is broken in various ways. Specifically while it is used in a lockless manner, it doesn't depend on CONFIG_HAVE_FAST_GUP nor uses the proper _lockless offset methods, nor is careful to only read each entry only once. Also the hugetlb support is broken due to calling pte_page() without first checking pte_special(). Rewrite the whole thing to be a proper lockless page-table walker and employ the new pXX_leaf_size() pgtable functions to determine the pagetable size without looking at the page-frames.

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.
