[PATCH v3 04/16] mm: add VM_UFFD_RWP VMA flag

Kiryl Shutsemau <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-man,org.kernel.vger.kvm,org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kselftest,org.kvack.linux-mm
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <[email protected]>

Preparatory patch for userfaultfd read-write protection (RWP). RWP
extends userfaultfd protection from plain write-protection (WP) to
full read-write protection: accesses to an RWP-protected range --
reads as well as writes -- trap through userfaultfd.

Reserve VM_UFFD_RWP, add the userfaultfd_rwp() and
userfaultfd_protected() helpers, and wire up the smaps "ur" entry and
the trace-flag table the rest of the series will use. The flag is
gated on CONFIG_USERFAULTFD_RWP, which is introduced together with the
UAPI in a later patch; until then VM_UFFD_RWP aliases VM_NONE and
every downstream check folds to dead code.

Nothing sets or queries the flag yet.
