[RFC,1/2] mips: vdso: prefer do_mmap() to mmap_region()

Commit Message

Lorenzo Stoakes Dec. 12, 2024, 3:36 p.m. UTC

mmap_region() is an internal memory management implementation detail that
is not intended to be used outside of the memory management subsystem.

Map the delay slot emulation page using do_mmap() which makes use of the
already-held mmap write lock and bypasses unneeded populate and userfaultfd
logic.

This should have the precise same behaviour as the existing logic.
