mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event enums
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result
of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as
a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration,
...).
This patch introduce a set of enums that can be associated with each of
the events triggering a mmu notifier. Latter patches take advantages of
those enum values.
- UNMAP: munmap() or mremap()
- CLEAR: page table is cleared (migration, compaction, reclaim, ...)
- PROTECTION_VMA: change in access protections for the range
- PROTECTION_PAGE: change in access protections for page in the range
- SOFT_DIRTY: soft dirtyness tracking
Being able to identify munmap() and mremap() from other reasons why the
page table is cleared is important to allow user of mmu notifier to update
their own internal tracking structure accordingly (on munmap or mremap it
is not longer needed to track range of virtual address as it becomes
invalid).
