[PATCH v3 0/7] introduce vm_flags modifier functions

This patchset was originally published as a part of per-VMA locking [1] and
was split after suggestion that it's viable on its own and to facilitate
the review process. It is now a preprequisite for the next version of per-VMA
lock patchset, which reuses vm_flags modifier functions to lock the VMA when
vm_flags are being updated.

VMA vm_flags modifications are usually done under exclusive mmap_lock
protection because this attrubute affects other decisions like VMA merging
or splitting and races should be prevented. Introduce vm_flags modifier
functions to enforce correct locking.

The patchset applies cleanly over mm-unstable branch of mm tree.

My apologies for an extremely large distribution list. The patch touches
lots of files and many are in arch/ and drivers/.

Changes since v2 [2]
- Add an additional patch to convert vma assignment to a memcpy.
- Change vm_flags to a union of __private and const fields,
per Peter Zijlstra and Matthew Wilcox.
- Changed vm_flags type to vm_flags_t, per Matthew Wilcox.
- Removed unnecessary BUG_ON's from ksm_madvise and hugepage_madvise,
per Michal Hocko.
- Documented mod_vm_flags_nolock usage, per Michal Hocko.

Suren Baghdasaryan (7):
  kernel/fork: convert vma assignment to a memcpy
  mm: introduce vma->vm_flags wrapper functions
  mm: replace VM_LOCKED_CLEAR_MASK with VM_LOCKED_MASK
  mm: replace vma->vm_flags direct modifications with modifier calls
  mm: replace vma->vm_flags indirect modification in ksm_madvise
  mm: introduce mod_vm_flags_nolock and use it in untrack_pfn
  mm: export dump_mm()
