Lots of things seem to do:
vma->vm_page_prot = vm_get_page_prot(flags);
and the ptes get created right from things we pull out
of ->vm_page_prot. So it is very convenient if we can
store the protection key in flags and vm_page_prot, just
like the existing permission bits (_PAGE_RW/PRESENT). It
greatly reduces the amount of plumbing and arch-specific
hacking we have to do in generic code.
This also takes the new PROT_PKEY{0,1,2,3} flags and
turns *those* in to VM_ flags for vma->vm_flags.
The protection key values are stored in 4 places:
1. "prot" argument to system calls
2. vma->vm_flags, filled from the mmap "prot"
3. vma->vm_page prot, filled from vma->vm_flags
4. the PTE itself.
The pseudocode for these for steps are as follows:
mmap(PROT_PKEY*)
vma->vm_flags = ... | arch_calc_vm_prot_bits(mmap_prot);
vma->vm_page_prot = ... | arch_vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags);
pte = pfn | vma->vm_page_prot
Note that this provides a new definitions for x86:
arch_vm_get_page_prot()
