ARM: 7985/1: mm: implement pte_accessible for faulting mappings
The pte_accessible macro can be used to identify page table entries
capable of being cached by a TLB. In principle, this differs from
pte_present, since PROT_NONE mappings are mapped using invalid entries
identified as present and ptes designated as `old' can use either
invalid entries or those with the access flag cleared (guaranteed not to
be in the TLB). However, there is a race to take care of, as described
in 20841405940e ("mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and
change_protection_range"), between a page being migrated and mprotected
at the same time. In this case, we can check whether a TLB invalidation
is pending for the mm and if so, temporarily consider PROT_NONE mappings
as valid.
This patch implements a quick pte_accessible macro for ARM by simply
checking if the pte is valid/present depending on the mm. For classic
MMU, these checks are identical and will generate some false positives
for PROT_NONE mappings, but this is better than the current asm-generic
definition of ((void)(pte),1).
Finally, pte_present_user is moved to use pte_valid (and renamed
appropriately) since we don't care about cache flushing for faulting
mappings.
