[PATCH v1 1/6] powerpc/mm: Fix reporting of kernel execute faults on the 8xx
From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Nov 07 2018 - 11:56:32 EST
On the 8xx, no-execute is set via PPP bits in the PTE. Therefore
a no-exec fault generates DSISR_PROTFAULT error bits,
not DSISR_NOEXEC_OR_G.
This patch adds DSISR_PROTFAULT in the test mask.
Fixes: d3ca587404b3 ("powerpc/mm: Fix reporting of kernel execute faults")
