Subject[PATCH v4] riscv: don't allow write but not read page mapping request in mmap
Date
When Xiongchuan Tan tries to run oe of libaio's tests[1], it encounters
a strange behavior: for the same PROT_WRITE only mapping, there was a
discrepancy in whether it could be read before and after writing
(readable before writing, unreadable after writing).
After some investigation, I found that mmap allows write only mapping,
an undefined behavior, on RISC-V.

As mentioned in Table 4.5 in RISC-V spec Volume 2 Section 4.3 version
"20211203 Privileged Architecture v1.12, Ratified"[2], the PTE permission
bit combination of "write+!read" is "Reserved for future use.". Hence,
don't allow such mapping request in mmap call.
In the current code[3], write+exec only is marked as invalid,
but write only is not marked as invalid.

This patch refines that judgment.
