ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID for page table entries
For long-descriptor translation table formats, the ARMv7 architecture defines the last two bits of the second- and third-level descriptors to be: x0b - Invalid 01b - Block (second-level), Reserved (third-level) 11b - Table (second-level), Page (third-level) This allows us to define L_PTE_PRESENT as (3 << 0) and use this value to create ptes directly. However, when determining whether a given pte value is present in the low-level page table accessors, we only need to check the least significant bit of the descriptor, allowing us to write faulting, present entries which are required for PROT_NONE mappings. This patch introduces L_PTE_VALID, which can be used to test whether a pte should fault, and updates the low-level page table accessors accordingly. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
