From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Tue Mar 14 2017 - 09:21:34 EST


From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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

===============

commit 372b1e91343e657a7cc5e2e2bcecd5140ac28119 upstream.

The hypercall page only needs to be executable but currently it is setup to
be writable as well. Fix the issue.
