ARM64: mm: Make PAGE_NONE pages read only and no-execute.
If we consider the following code sequence: my_pte = pte_modify(entry, myprot); x = pte_write(my_pte); y = pte_exec(my_pte); If myprot comes from a PROT_NONE page, then x and y will both be true which is undesireable behaviour. This patch sets the no-execute and read-only bits for PAGE_NONE such that the code above will return false for both x and y. Signed-off-by:Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Acked-by:
