[PATCH] [10/19] x86_64: x86_64 add NX mask for PTE entry

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Sat Oct 21 2006 - 12:52:56 EST



From: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@xxxxxxxxx>

If function change_page_attr_addr calls revert_page to revert
to original pte value, mk_pte_phys does not mask NX bit. If NX bit
is set on no NX hardware supported x86_64 machine, there is will
be RSVD type page fault and system will crash. This patch adds NX
mask bit for PTE entry.
