[PATCH v18 10/12] powerpc/mm: Implement *_user_accessible_page() for ptes

From: Andrew Donnellan <hidden>
Date: 2025-12-18 17:11:29
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-mm, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Rohan McLure <redacted>

Page table checking depends on architectures providing an
implementation of p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page. With
refactorisations made on powerpc/mm, the pte_access_permitted() and
similar methods verify whether a userland page is accessible with the
required permissions.

Since page table checking is the only user of
p{te,md,ud}_user_accessible_page(), implement these for all platforms,
using some of the same preliminary checks taken by pte_access_permitted()
on that platform.

Since commit 8e9bd41e4ce1 ("powerpc/nohash: Replace pte_user() by pte_read()")
pte_user() is no longer required to be present on all platforms as it
may be equivalent to or implied by pte_read(). Hence implementations of
pte_user_accessible_page() are specialised.
