ARM: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE
commit 26ffd0d43b186b0d5186354da8714a1c2d360df0 upstream. PROT_NONE mappings apply the page protection attributes defined by _P000 which translate to PAGE_NONE for ARM. These attributes specify an XN, RDONLY pte that is inaccessible to userspace. However, on kernels configured without support for domains, such a pte *is* accessible to the kernel and can be read via get_user, allowing tasks to read PROT_NONE pages via syscalls such as read/write over a pipe. This patch introduces a new software pte flag, L_PTE_NONE, that is set to identify faulting, present entries.
