Subject: powerpc/mm: Implement *_user_accessible_page() for ptes
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2025 04:09:42 +1100
Page table checking depends on architectures providing an implementation
of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page. With refactorisations made on
powerpc/mm, the pte_access_permitted() and similar methods verify whether
a userland page is accessible with the required permissions.
Since page table checking is the only user of
p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page(), implement these for all platforms,
using some of the same preliminary checks taken by pte_access_permitted()
on that platform.
Since commit 8e9bd41e4ce1 ("powerpc/nohash: Replace pte_user() by
pte_read()") pte_user() is no longer required to be present on all
platforms as it may be equivalent to or implied by pte_read(). Hence
implementations of pte_user_accessible_page() are specialised.
