[ 29/73] arm64: Ignore the write ESR flag on cache maintenance faults

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit 0e7f7bcc3fc87489cda5aa6aff8ce40eed912279 upstream.

ESR.WnR bit is always set on data cache maintenance faults even though
the page is not required to have write permission. If a translation
fault (page not yet mapped) happens for read-only user address range,
Linux incorrectly assumes a permission fault. This patch adds the check
of the ESR.CM bit during the page fault handling to ignore the 'write'
flag.
