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.
