Now we use huge_ptep_get() to get the pte value of a hugetlb page, however it will only return one specific pte value for the CONT-PTE or CONT-PMD size hugetlb on ARM64 system, which can contain several continuous pte or pmd entries with same page table attributes. And it will not take into account the subpages' dirty or young bits of a CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page. So the huge_ptep_get() is inconsistent with huge_ptep_get_and_clear(), which already takes account the dirty or young bits for any subpages in this CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb [1]. Meanwhile we can miss dirty or young flags statistics for hugetlb pages with current huge_ptep_get(), such as the gather_hugetlb_stats() function, and CONT-PTE/PMD hugetlb monitoring with DAMON. Thus define an ARM64 specific huge_ptep_get() implementation as well as enabling __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_PTEP_GET, that will take into account any subpages' dirty or young bits for CONT-PTE/PMD size hugetlb page, for those functions that want to check the dirty and young flags of a hugetlb page.

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.
