Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] powerpc32: handle inverted _PAGE_RW bit outside of TLB handlers
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 17:04:35 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150119160435.8AF541A5E85@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Some powerpc like the 8xx don't have a RW bit in PTE bits but a RO (Read Only) bit.
This patch implements the handling of a _PAGE_RO flag to be used in place of _PAGE_RW
Patchset:
1) powerpc32: adds handling of _PAGE_RO
2) powerpc/8xx: use _PAGE_RO instead of _PAGE_RW
All changes have been successfully tested on MPC885
