[PATCH 4.14 129/205] powerpc/mm: Fix reporting of kernel execute faults on the 8xx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit ffca395b11c4a5a6df6d6345f794b0e3d578e2d0 ]

On the 8xx, no-execute is set via PPP bits in the PTE. Therefore
a no-exec fault generates DSISR_PROTFAULT error bits,
not DSISR_NOEXEC_OR_G.

This patch adds DSISR_PROTFAULT in the test mask.
