Other architectures define pte_mkexec to mark a pte as executable.
Add pte_mkexec for ARM to get the same functionality. Although no
other architectures currently define it, also add pte_mknexec to
explicitly allow a pte to be marked as non executable.

Commit f6f91b0d9fd9 (ARM: allow kuser helpers to be removed from the
vector page) required two pages for the vectors code.  Although the
code setting up the initial page tables was updated, the code which
allocates page tables for new processes wasn't, neither was the code
which tears down the mappings.  Fix this.

THe L_PTE_USER actually has nothing to do with stage 2 mappings and the
L_PTE_S2_RDWR value sets the readable bit, which was what L_PTE_USER
was used for before proper handling of stage 2 memory defines.

Changelog:
  [v3]: Drop call to kvm_set_s2pte_writable in mmu.c
  [v2]: Change default mappings to be r/w instead of r/o, as per Marc
     Zyngier's suggestion.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "This contains the usual updates from other people (listed below) and
  the usual random muddle of miscellaneous ARM updates which cover some
  low priority bug fixes and performance improvements.

  I've started to put the pull request wording into the merge commits,
  which are:

   - NoMMU stuff:

     This includes the following series sent earlier to the list:
      - nommu-fixes
      - R7 Support
      - MPU support

     I've left out the ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM/!MMU stuff that Arnd and I
     were discussing today until we've reached a conclusion/that's had
     some more review.

     This is rebased (and re-tested) on your devel-stable branch because
     otherwise there were going to be conflicts with Uwe's V7M work now
     that you've merged that.  I've included the fix for limiting MPU to
     CPU_V7.

   - Huge page support

     These changes bring both HugeTLB support and Transparent HugePage
     (THP) support to ARM.  Only long descriptors (LPAE) are supported
     in this series.

     The code has been tested on an Arndale board (Exynos 5250).

   - LPAE updates

     Please pull these miscellaneous LPAE fixes I've been collecting for
     a while now for 3.11.  They've been tested and reviewed by quite a
     few people, and most of the patches are pretty trivial.  -- Will Deacon.

   - arch_timer cleanups

     Please pull these arch_timer cleanups I've been holding onto for a
     while.  They're the same as my last posting, but have been rebased
     to v3.10-rc3.

   - mpidr linearisation (multiprocessor id register - identifies which
     CPU number we are in the system)

     This patch series that implements MPIDR linearization through a
     simple hashing algorithm and updates current cpu_{suspend}/{resume}
     code to use the newly created hash structures to retrieve context
     pointers.  It represents a stepping stone for the implementation of
     power management code on forthcoming multi-cluster ARM systems.

     It has been tested on TC2 (dual cluster A15xA7 system), iMX6q,
     OMAP4 and Tegra, with processors hitting low-power states requiring
     warm-boot resume through the cpu_resume code path"

<title>arm: set the page table freeing ceiling to TASK_SIZE</title>

<content type='text'>
ARM processors with LPAE enabled use 3 levels of page tables, with an
entry in the top level (pgd) covering 1GB of virtual space.  Because of
the branch relocation limitations on ARM, the loadable modules are
mapped 16MB below PAGE_OFFSET, making the corresponding 1GB pgd shared
between kernel modules and user space.

If free_pgtables() is called with the default ceiling 0,
free_pgd_range() (and subsequently called functions) also frees the page
table shared between user space and kernel modules (which is normally
handled by the ARM-specific pgd_free() function).  This patch changes
defines the ARM USER_PGTABLES_CEILING to TASK_SIZE when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
is enabled.

Note that the pgd_free() function already checks the presence of the
shared pmd page allocated by pgd_alloc() and frees it, though with
ceiling 0 this wasn't necessary.

<title>ARM: 7654/1: Preserve L_PTE_VALID in pte_modify()</title>

<id>69dde4c52dbac2891b49ff9723d9c84efc5baf6f</id>
<content type='text'>
Following commit 26ffd0d4 (ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries
for PAGE_NONE), if a page has been mapped as PROT_NONE, the L_PTE_VALID
bit is cleared by the set_pte_ext() code. With LPAE the software and
hardware pte share the same location and subsequent modifications of pte
range (change_protection()) will leave the L_PTE_VALID bit cleared.

This patch adds the L_PTE_VALID bit to the newprot mask in pte_modify().
