[POWERPC] PowerPC: Prevent data exception in kernel space (32-bit)
The "is_exec" branch of the protection check in do_page_fault() didn't do anything on 32-bit PowerPC. So if a userland program jumps to a page with Linux protection flags "---p", all the tests happily fall through, and handle_mm_fault() is called, which in turn calls handle_pte_fault(), which calls update_mmu_cache(), which goes flush the dcache to a page with no access rights. Boom. This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Segher Boessenkool <segher@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
