Subject: [PATCH] ARM64: mm: Correct show_pte behaviour.
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:49:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366382971-12682-1-git-send-email-steve.capper@linaro.org> (raw)

show_pte makes use of the *_none_or_clear_bad style functions. If a
pgd, pud or pmd is identified as being bad, it will then be cleared.

As show_pte appears to be called from either the user or kernel
fault handlers this side effect can lead to unpredictable behaviour;
especially as TLB entries are not invalidated.

This patch removes the page table sanitisation from show_pte. If a
bad pgd, pud or pmd is encountered it is left unmodified.
