The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing
the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. However, the kernel running on a CPU
implementation without User Access Override (ARMv8.2 onwards) can still
access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect
against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such
protection must enable features like SECCOMP.
This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros
to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that
pte_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't
set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the
pte_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults.

Structures that can be generally written to don't have any requirement
to be executable (quite the opposite). This includes the kvm and vcpu
structures, as well as the stacks.
Let's change the default to incorporate the XN flag.

There should be no reason for mapping the HYP text read/write.
As such, let's have a new set of flags (PAGE_HYP_EXEC) that allows
execution, but makes the page as read-only, and update the two call
sites that deal with mapping code.

In order to be able to use C code in HYP, we're now mapping the kernel's
rodata in HYP. It works absolutely fine, except that we're mapping it RWX,
which is not what it should be.
Add a new HYP_PAGE_RO protection, and pass it as the protection flags
when mapping the rodata section.

The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull
in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of
this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the
definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being
defined.
Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the
definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro
is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used.
This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226.
Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include
introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile.
Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot
definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth
pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the circular dependency, and ensuring
that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.
