The PTE is valid and memory access to the region may fault. - Present and invalid: Bit #0 is clear and bit #1 is set. Represents present memory with PROT_NONE protection. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the user fault handler will raise a SIGSEGV. - Not present (file): Bits #0 and #1 are clear, bit #2 is set. Memory represented has been paged out. The PTE is an invalid entry, and the fault handler will try and re-populate the memory where necessary. Huge PTEs are block descriptors that have bit #1 clear. If we wish to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs we then run into a problem as there is no way to distinguish between regular and huge PTEs if we set bit #1. As huge PTEs are always present, the meaning of bits #1 and #2 can be swapped for invalid PTEs. This patch swaps the PTE_FILE and PTE_PROT_NONE constants, allowing us to represent PROT_NONE huge PTEs.
