In order to avoid using generic _PAGE_XXX flags in powerpc core functions, define helpers for all needed flags: - pte_mkuser() and pte_mkprivileged() to set/unset and/or unset/set _PAGE_USER and/or _PAGE_PRIVILEGED - pte_hashpte() to check if _PAGE_HASHPTE is set. - pte_ci() check if cache is inhibited (already existing on book3s/64) - pte_exprotect() to protect against execution - pte_exec() and pte_mkexec() to query and set page execution - pte_mkpte() to set _PAGE_PTE flag. - pte_hw_valid() to check _PAGE_PRESENT since pte_present does something different on book3s/64. On book3s/32 there is no exec protection, so pte_mkexec() and pte_exprotect() are nops and pte_exec() returns always true.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
