mm/vma: add vma_flags_empty(), vma_flags_and(), vma_flags_diff_pair()
Patch series "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code", v4. This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it. In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers: * vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits set. * vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values. * vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values) * append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags specified to append to it. * vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to a set of VMA flags. * vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant). * vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant). * vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of vma_flags_t. * legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t value, for the same purpose. * vma_flags_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a vma_flags_t value contain the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag mask defines. * vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain a specific singular VMA flag. * vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA flags. * vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value. * vma_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag mask defines. * vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t value. * vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value (typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value. The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h. It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be able to do so. It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible. There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly. This patch (of 25): Firstly, add the ability to determine if VMA flags are empty, that is no flags are set in a vma_flags_t value. Next, add the ability to obtain the equivalent of the bitwise and of two vma_flags_t values, via vma_flags_and_mask(). Next, add the ability to obtain the difference between two sets of VMA flags, that is the equivalent to the exclusive bitwise OR of the two sets of flags, via vma_flags_diff_pair(). vma_flags_xxx_mask() typically operates on a pointer to a vma_flags_t value, which is assumed to be an lvalue of some kind (such as a field in a struct or a stack variable) and an rvalue of some kind (typically a constant set of VMA flags obtained e.g. via mk_vma_flags() or equivalent). However vma_flags_diff_pair() is intended to operate on two lvalues, so use the _pair() suffix to make this clear. Finally, update VMA userland tests to add these helpers. We also port bitmap_xor() and __bitmap_xor() to the tools/ headers and source to allow the tests to work with vma_flags_diff_pair().
