mm/vma: convert __mmap_region() to use vma_flags_t
Update the mmap() implementation logic implemented in __mmap_region() and functions invoked by it. The mmap_region() function converts its input vm_flags_t parameter to a vma_flags_t value which it then passes to __mmap_region() which uses the vma_flags_t value consistently from then on.
As part of the change, we convert map_deny_write_exec() to using vma_flags_t (it was incorrectly using unsigned long before), and place it in vma.h, as it is only used internal to mm.
With this change, we eliminate the legacy is_shared_maywrite_vm_flags() helper function which is now no longer required.
We are also able to update the MMAP_STATE() and VMG_MMAP_STATE() macros to use the vma_flags_t value.
Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect the change.

mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_t

mm/vma: convert vma_modify_flags[_uffd]() to use vma_flags_t
Update the vma_modify_flags() and vma_modify_flags_uffd() functions to accept a vma_flags_t parameter rather than a vm_flags_t one, and propagate the changes as needed to implement this change.
Also add vma_flags_reset_once() in replacement of vm_flags_reset_once(). We still need to be careful here because we need to avoid tearing, so maintain the assumption that the first system word set of flags are the only ones that require protection from tearing, and retain this functionality.
We can copy the remainder of VMA flags above 64 bits normally. But hopefully by the time that happens, we will have replaced the logic that requires these WRITE_ONCE()'s with something else.
We also replace instances of vm_flags_reset() with a simple write of VMA flags. We are no longer perform a number of checks, most notable of all the VMA flags asserts becase:
1. We might be operating on a VMA that is not yet added to the tree.
2. We might be operating on a VMA that is now detached.
3. Really in all but core code, you should be using vma_desc_xxx().
4. Other VMA fields are manipulated with no such checks.
5. It'd be egregious to have to add variants of flag functions just to account for cases such as the above, especially when we don't do so for other VMA fields. Drivers are the problematic cases and why it was especially important (and also for debug as VMA locks were introduced), the mmap_prepare work is solving this generally.
Additionally, we can fairly safely assume by this point the soft dirty flags are being set correctly, so it's reasonable to drop this also.
Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect this.

mm: convert do_brk_flags() to use vma_flags_t
In order to be able to do this, we need to change VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS and friends and update the architecture-specific definitions also.
We then have to update some KSM logic to handle VMA flags, and introduce VMA_STACK_FLAGS to define the vma_flags_t equivalent of VM_STACK_FLAGS.
We also introduce two helper functions for use during the time we are converting legacy flags to vma_flags_t values - vma_flags_to_legacy() and legacy_to_vma_flags().
This enables us to iteratively make changes to break these changes up into separate parts.
We use these explicitly here to keep VM_STACK_FLAGS around for certain users which need to maintain the legacy vm_flags_t values for the time being.
We are no longer able to rely on the simple VM_xxx being set to zero if the feature is not enabled, so in the case of VM_DROPPABLE we introduce VMA_DROPPABLE as the vma_flags_t equivalent, which is set to EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS if the droppable flag is not available.
While we're here, we make the description of do_brk_flags() into a kdoc comment, as it almost was already.
We use vma_flags_to_legacy() to not need to update the vm_get_page_prot() logic as this time.
Note that in create_init_stack_vma() we have to replace the BUILD_BUG_ON() with a VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() as the tested values are no longer build time available.
We also update mprotect_fixup() to use VMA flags where possible, though we have to live with a little duplication between vm_flags_t and vma_flags_t values for the time being until further conversions are made.
While we're here, update VM_SPECIAL to be defined in terms of VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS now we have vma_flags_to_legacy().
Finally, we update the VMA tests to reflect these changes.

Update the VMA tests to assert that vma_flags_count() behaves as expected, as well as vma_flags_test_single_mask() and vma_test_single_mask().
For the test functions we can simply update the existing vma_test(), et al. test to also test the single_mask variants.
We also add some explicit testing of an empty VMA flag to this test to ensure this is handled properly.
In order to test vma_flags_count() we simply take an existing set of flags and gradually remove flags ensuring the count remains as expected throughout.
We also update the vma[_flags]_test_all() tests to make clear the semantics that we expect vma[_flags]_test_all(..., EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS) to return true, as trivially, all flags of none are always set in VMA flags.

tools/testing/vma: fix VMA flag tests
The VMA tests are incorrectly referencing NUM_VMA_FLAGS, which doesn't exist, rather they should reference NUM_VMA_FLAG_BITS.
Additionally, remove the custom-written implementation of __mk_vma_flags() as this means we are not testing the code as present in the kernel, rather add the actual __mk_vma_flags() to dup.h and add #ifdef's to handle declarations differently depending on NUM_VMA_FLAG_BITS.

tools/testing/vma: add VMA userland tests for VMA flag functions
Now we have the capability to test the new helpers for the bitmap VMA flags in userland, do so.
We also update the Makefile such that both VMA (and while we're here) mm_struct flag sizes can be customised on build. We default to 128-bit to enable testing of flags above word size even on 64-bit systems.
We add userland tests to ensure that we do not regress VMA flag behaviour with the introduction when using bitmap VMA flags, nor accidentally introduce unexpected results due to for instance higher bit values not being correctly cleared/set.
As part of this change, make __mk_vma_flags() a custom function so we can handle specifying invalid VMA bits. This is purposeful so we can have the VMA tests work at lower and higher number of VMA flags without having to duplicate code too much.
