H A Dtlb.hc9fe6656 Mon May 09 20:20:50 CDT 2022 Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com> mm/mprotect: do not flush when not required architecturally

Currently, using mprotect() to unprotect a memory region or uffd to
unprotect a memory region causes a TLB flush. However, in such cases the
PTE is often not modified (i.e., remain RO) and therefore not TLB flush is
needed.

Add an arch-specific pte_needs_flush() which tells whether a TLB flush is
needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86
pte_needs_flush().

Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping
a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the
flush.

Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine
the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the
architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not
be careful and use the latter.
