[PATCH 03/14] uml: correct removal of pte_mkexec

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Date: Thu Oct 05 2006 - 17:46:08 EST


From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@xxxxxxxx>

Correct commit 5906e4171ad61ce68de95e51b773146707671f80 - this makes more sense:
we turn pte_mkexec + pte_wrprotect to pte_mkread. However, due to a bug in
pte_mkread, it does the exact same thing as pte_mkwrite, so this patch improves
the code but does not change anything in practice. The pte_mkread bug is fixed
separately, as it may have big impact.
