Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v7. protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111] exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with __SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values. Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX macros , protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot() built between the platform and generic MM, finally defining vm_get_page_prot(). Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it clean and simple. This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped off completely. The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig https://lore.kernel.org/all/1632712920-8171-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/ This patch (of 7): Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing the generic protection_map[] array.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
