[PATCH v5 1/5] powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines

Russell Currey
2019-10-30T07:32:04Z

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for STRICT_MODULE_RWX,
and are generally useful primitives to have. This implementation is
designed to be completely generic across powerpc's many MMUs.

It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs, but the focus is on having a generic and safe implementation for
now.

This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered. These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them, so that is left as a TODO for now.
