Subject: powerpc: Fix usage of _PAGE_RO in hugepage
From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxx>
commit 6b8cb66a6a7cc182b47da6a0a1d4e5da324c0695 upstream.
On some CPUs like the 8xx, _PAGE_RW hence _PAGE_WRITE is defined
as 0 and _PAGE_RO has to be set when a page is not writable
_PAGE_RO is defined by default in pte-common.h, however BOOK3S/64
doesn't include that file so _PAGE_RO has to be defined explicitly
in book3s/64/pgtable.h
Fixes: a7b9f671f2d14 ("powerpc32: adds handling of _PAGE_RO")
