[PATCH V7 0/7] mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()

[Anshuman Khandual]

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

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1632712920-8171-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@xxxxxxx/

This series applies on 5.18-rc2.

This series has been cross built for multiple platforms.
