[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Support execute-only memory on the Radix MMU

From: Russell Currey <hidden>
Date: 2022-08-08 12:00:57

The Hash MMU already supports XOM (i.e. mmap with PROT_EXEC only)
through the execute-only pkey.  A PROT_ONLY mapping will actually map to
RX, and then the pkey will be applied on top of it.

Radix doesn't have pkeys, but it does have execute permissions built-in
to the MMU, so all we have to do to support XOM is expose it.

quick test: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ruscur/junkcode/main/mmap_test.c
I can make it a selftest.
