It is useful to transition to using a bitmap for VMA flags so we can avoid
running out of flags, especially for 32-bit kernels which are constrained
to 32 flags, necessitating some features to be limited to 64-bit kernels
only.
By doing so, we remove any constraint on the number of VMA flags moving
forwards no matter the platform and can decide in future to extend beyond
64 if required.
We start by declaring an opaque types, vma_flags_t (which resembles
mm_struct flags of type mm_flags_t), setting it to precisely the same size
as vm_flags_t, and place it in union with vm_flags in the VMA declaration.
We additionally update struct vm_area_desc equivalently placing the new
opaque type in union with vm_flags.
This change therefore does not impact the size of struct vm_area_struct or
struct vm_area_desc.
In order for the change to be iterative and to avoid impacting
performance, we designate VM_xxx declared bitmap flag values as those
which must exist in the first system word of the VMA flags bitmap.
We therefore declare vma_flags_clear_all(), vma_flags_overwrite_word(),
vma_flags_overwrite_word(), vma_flags_overwrite_word_once(),
vma_flags_set_word() and vma_flags_clear_word() in order to allow us to
update the existing vm_flags_*() functions to utilise these helpers.
This is a stepping stone towards converting users to the VMA flags bitmap
and behaves precisely as before.
By doing this, we can eliminate the existing private vma->__vm_flags field
in the vma->vm_flags union and replace it with the newly introduced opaque
type vma_flags, which we call flags so we refer to the new bitmap field as
vma->flags.
We update vma_flag_[test, set]_atomic() to account for the change also.
We adapt vm_flags_reset_once() to only clear those bits above the first
system word providing write-once semantics to the first system word (which
it is presumed the caller requires - and in all current use cases this is
so).
As we currently only specify that the VMA flags bitmap size is equal to
BITS_PER_LONG number of bits, this is a noop, but is defensive in
preparation for a future change that increases this.
We additionally update the VMA userland test declarations to implement the
same changes there.
Finally, we update the rust code to reference vma->vm_flags on update
rather than vma->__vm_flags which has been removed. This is safe for now,
albeit it is implicitly performing a const cast.
Once we introduce flag helpers we can improve this more.
No functional change intended.
