From 5c9fa16e8abd342ce04dc830c1ebb2a03abf6c05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2020 11:19:57 +1000 Subject: powerpc/64s: Remove PROT_SAO support ISA v3.1 does not support the SAO storage control attribute required to implement PROT_SAO. PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software (Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems. We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible if SAO is in use (or worse allowed with silent races). - PROT_SAO stays in the uapi header so code using it would still build. - arch_validate_prot() is removed, the generic version rejects PROT_SAO so applications would get a failure at mmap() time.
