Subject: [POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ba4ace39fdfe22268daca9f28c5df384ae462cf;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)

The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault()
didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC.  So if a userland program
jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests
happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in
turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(),
which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights.

Boom.

This fixes it.
