    powerpc/mm: add pte helpers to query and change pte flags · daba7902
    Christophe Leroy authored
    In order to avoid using generic _PAGE_XXX flags in powerpc
    core functions, define helpers for all needed flags:
    - pte_mkuser() and pte_mkprivileged() to set/unset and/or
    unset/set _PAGE_USER and/or _PAGE_PRIVILEGED
    - pte_hashpte() to check if _PAGE_HASHPTE is set.
    - pte_ci() check if cache is inhibited (already existing on book3s/64)
    - pte_exprotect() to protect against execution
    - pte_exec() and pte_mkexec() to query and set page execution
    - pte_mkpte() to set _PAGE_PTE flag.
    - pte_hw_valid() to check _PAGE_PRESENT since pte_present does
    something different on book3s/64.
    
    On book3s/32 there is no exec protection, so pte_mkexec() and
    pte_exprotect() are nops and pte_exec() returns always true.
