Hi Dave,

This generally looks good, but I have a few comments below.

While the architectural name for the PTE bit is GP, it might make more
sense to call the vm flag VM_ARM64_BTI, since people are more likely to
recognise BTI than GP as a mnemonic.

Not a big deal either way, though.

I thought BTYPE was a 2-bit field, so isn't there at leat one other
value to have a mnemonic for?

Is it an enumeration or a bitmask?

From prior discussions, I thought this would be PROT_BTI, without the
_GUARDED suffix. Do we really need that?

AFAICT, all other PROT_* definitions only have a single underscore, and
the existing arch-specific flags are PROT_ADI on sparc, and PROT_SAO on
powerpc.

Phew; I was worried this would be missed!

... though I don't understand why that would matter to syscalls, nor how
those bits could ever be set given we had to execute an SVC to get here.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Mark.
