Is it ok to #undef macros from another header? Especially since said
header is in uapi (include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h).

Also, it's unnecessary to undef the _ACCESS and _WRITE macros since they
are identical to the original definition. And since these macros are
originally defined in an uapi header, the powerpc-specific ones should
be in an uapi header as well, if I understand it correctly.

An alternative solution is to define only PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE in
arch/powerpc/include/uapi/asm/mman.h and then test for its existence to
properly define PKEY_ACCESS_MASK in
include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h. What do you think of the code
below?

The comment seems to be from an earlier version which has the logic
inverted, and there is no PKEY_ENABLE_EXECUTE. Should the comment be
updated to the following?

    By default execute is enabled.
    To disable execute, PKEY_DISABLE_EXECUTE needs to be specified.
