[v2,0/5] Encapsulate PTE contents from non-arch code

Message

Hi All,

This is v2 of a series to improve the encapsulation of pte entries by
disallowing non-arch code from directly dereferencing pte_t pointers. Instead
code must use a new helper, `pte_t ptep_deref(pte_t *ptep)`.

See the v1 cover letter at [1] for rationale and explanation of approach.

As with v1, the series is split up as follows:

patchs 1-2: Fix bugs where code was _setting_ ptes directly, rather than using
            set_pte_at() and friends.
patch 3:    Fix highmem unmapping issue I spotted while doing the work.
patch 4:    Introduce the new ptep_deref() helper with default implementation.
patch 5:    Convert all direct dereferences to use ptep_deref().

Patches are based on v6.4-rc2 and a branch is available at [2].

Changes since v1:
   - patch 5: Fixed sh build bug reported by 0-day CI
   - patch 1: Refactored pfn to use local variable
   - patch 1-2: Minor rewording of commit message: 'verify' -> 'check'
   - patch 1-3: applied Ack/Reviewed-by tags; thanks for those!

Ryan Roberts (5):
  mm: vmalloc must set pte via arch code
  mm: damon must atomically clear young on ptes and pmds
  mm: Fix failure to unmap pte on highmem systems
  mm: Add new ptep_deref() helper to fully encapsulate pte_t
  mm: ptep_deref() conversion
