Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] KVM: arm64: nv: Fix handling of XN[0] when !FEAT_XNX
Date: Tue, 2 Jun 2026 09:59:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260602165901.52800-2-oupton@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260602165901.52800-1-oupton@kernel.org>
XN has already been extracted from its bitfield position so using
FIELD_PREP() on the mask that clears XN[0] is completely broken, having
the effect of unconditionally granting execute permissions...
Fix the obvious mistake by manipulating the right bit.
