[PATCH v2 2/4] x86/mm: use lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() in show_fault_oops()

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Fri Apr 12 2024 - 11:13:40 EST


Fix show_fault_oops() to not only look at the leaf PTE for detecting
NX violations, but to use the effective NX value returned by
lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() instead.
