    userfaultfd: wp: add the writeprotect API to userfaultfd ioctl · 63b2d417
    Andrea Arcangeli authored
    Introduce the new uffd-wp APIs for userspace.
    
    Firstly, we'll allow to do UFFDIO_REGISTER with write protection tracking
    using the new UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP flag.  Note that this flag can
    co-exist with the existing UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING, in which case the
    userspace program can not only resolve missing page faults, and at the
    same time tracking page data changes along the way.
    
    Secondly, we introduced the new UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT API to do page level
    write protection tracking.  Note that we will need to register the memory
    region with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP before that.
