Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop __SXXX/__PXXX macros from across platforms", v7. __SXXX/__PXXX macros are unnecessary abstraction layer in creating the generic protection_map[] array which is used for vm_get_page_prot(). This abstraction layer can be avoided, if the platforms just define the array protection_map[] for all possible vm_flags access permission combinations and also export vm_get_page_prot() implementation. This series drops __SXXX/__PXXX macros from across platforms in the tree. First it build protects generic protection_map[] array with '#ifdef __P000' and moves it inside platforms which enable ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. Later this build protects same array with '#ifdef ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT' and moves inside remaining platforms while enabling ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT. This adds a new macro DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT defining the current generic vm_get_page_prot(), in order for it to be reused on platforms that do not require custom implementation. Finally, ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT can just be dropped, as all platforms now define and export vm_get_page_prot(), via looking up a private and static protection_map[] array. protection_map[] data type has been changed as 'static const' on all platforms that do not change it during boot. This patch (of 26): Build protect generic protection_map[] array with __P000, so that it can be moved inside all the platforms one after the other. Otherwise there will be build failures during this process. CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT cannot be used for this purpose as only certain platforms enable this config now.

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.
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.
