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.
