This happens because the Xen hypervisor can't emulate direct writes to
page table entries other than PTEs.

This can easily be fixed by introducing arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young()
similar to arch_has_hw_pte_young() and test that instead of
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG.

V2:
- correct function name in commit message to match patch

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 3f85e711d5af4fb4 ("mm:
introduce arch_has_hw_nonleaf_pmd_young()") in next-20221124.

noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx reported a build failure for m68k/allmodconfig,
which I have bisected to this commit.

pmd_young() seems to be defined only on a handful of architectures.

What would be the preferred fix for that?

I could offer:

- use V1 of the patch
- add the #ifdefs again to this patch (which would be kind of weird)
- use the attached patch

Subject: [PATCH] mm: add dummy pmd_young() for architectures not having it

In order to avoid #ifdeffery add a dummy pmd_young() implementation as
a fallback.
