Subject[PATCH V4 0/7] mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()
Date
protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given vm_flags
combination. This array contains page protection map, which is populated by
the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111] exported macros.
Primary usage for protection_map[] is for vm_get_page_prot(), which is used
to determine page protection value for a given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot()
implementation, could again call platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot()
and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some platforms override protection_map[] that was
originally built with __SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values.

Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX macros
, protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot() built
between the platform and generic MM, finally defining vm_get_page_prot().

Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and instead
just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the platform
(still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it clean and
simple.

This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the platforms
to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting platforms that
define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or arch_vm_get_page_prot() which
enables for those constructs to be dropped off completely.

The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig

This series applies on 5.18-rc1 after the following patch.

This series has been cross built for multiple platforms.

Changes in V4:

- ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT now excludes generic protection_map[]
- Changed platform's vm_get_page_prot() to use generic protection_map[]
- Dropped all platform changes not enabling either arch_vm_get_page_prot() or arch_filter_pgprot()
- Dropped all previous tags as code base has changed

Changes in V3:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1646045273-9343-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Dropped variable 'i' from sme_early_init() on x86 platform
- Moved CONFIG_COLDFIRE vm_get_page_prot() inside arch/m68k/mm/mcfmmu.c
- Moved CONFIG_SUN3 vm_get_page_prot() inside arch/m68k/mm/sun3mmu.c
- Dropped cachebits for vm_get_page_prot() inside arch/m68k/mm/motorola.c
- Dropped PAGE_XXX_C definitions from arch/m68k/include/asm/motorola_pgtable.h
- Used PAGE_XXX instead for vm_get_page_prot() inside arch/m68k/mm/motorola.c
- Dropped all references to protection_map[] in the tree
- Replaced s/extensa/xtensa/ on the patch title
- Moved left over comments from pgtable.h into init.c on nios2 platform

Changes in V2:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1645425519-9034-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Dropped the entire comment block in [PATCH 30/30] per Geert
- Replaced __P010 (although commented) with __PAGE_COPY on arm platform
- Replaced __P101 with PAGE_READONLY on um platform

Changes in V1:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1644805853-21338-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

- Add white spaces around the | operators
- Moved powerpc_vm_get_page_prot() near vm_get_page_prot() on powerpc
- Moved arm64_vm_get_page_prot() near vm_get_page_prot() on arm64
- Moved sparc_vm_get_page_prot() near vm_get_page_prot() on sparc
- Compacted vm_get_page_prot() switch cases on all platforms
- _PAGE_CACHE040 inclusion is dependent on CPU_IS_040_OR_060
- VM_SHARED case should return PAGE_NONE (not PAGE_COPY) on SH platform
- Reorganized VM_SHARED, VM_EXEC, VM_WRITE, VM_READ
- Dropped the last patch [RFC V1 31/31] which added macros for vm_flags combinations
