x86/pkeys: Make mprotect_key() mask off additional vm_flags
Today, mprotect() takes 4 bits of data: PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC/NONE. Three of those bits: READ/WRITE/EXEC get translated directly in to vma->vm_flags by calc_vm_prot_bits(). If a bit is unset in mprotect()'s 'prot' argument then it must be cleared in vma->vm_flags during the mprotect() call. We do this clearing today by first calculating the VMA flags we want set, then clearing the ones we do not want to inherit from the original VMA: vm_flags = calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key); ... newflags = vm_flags; newflags |= (vma->vm_flags & ~(VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC)); However, we *also* want to mask off the original VMA's vm_flags in which we store the protection key. To do that, this patch adds a new macro: ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS which allows the architecture to specify additional bits that it would like cleared. We use that to ensure that the VM_PKEY_BIT* bits get cleared.
