[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 04/18] arm/mm: Introduce modify_xen_mappings



Which is only used by Livepatch code. The purpose behind
this call is to modify the page table entries flags.

Specifically the .ro and .nx flags. The current mechanism
puts cache attributes in the flags and the .ro and .nx are
locked down and assumed to be .ro=0, nx=1.

Livepatch needs .nx=0 and also .ro to be set to 1.

We introduce a new 'flags' where various bits determine
whether .ro and .nx bits are set or cleared. We can't use
an enum as the function prototype would diverge from x86.

[Added as he wrote the x86 modify_xen_mappings version]

RFC: First submission.
v1: Add #defines to make it simpler to understand the bit-shifting.
v2: Add sanity checks on ro=0 and nx=0 never occuring (executable
    read/write code).
    Piggyback on "x86: change modify_xen_mappings to return error"
    to be able to return an error value.
v3: Added Julien's Reviewed-by
