| 2009-04-07 | powerpc: Fix oops when loading modules | Paul Mackerras | |
| This fixes a problem reported by Sean MacLennan where loading any module would cause an oops. We weren't marking the pages containing the module text as having hardware execute permission, due to a bug introduced in commit 8d1cf34e ("powerpc/mm: Tweak PTE bit combination definitions"), hence trying to execute the module text caused an exception on processors that support hardware execute permission. This adds _PAGE_HWEXEC to the definitions of PAGE_KERNEL_X and PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to fix this problem.

| 2009-03-24 | powerpc/mm: Merge various PTE bits and accessors definitions | Benjamin Herrenschmidt | |
| Now that they are almost identical, we can merge some of the definitions related to the PTE format into common files. This creates a new pte-common.h which is included by both 32 and 64-bit right after the CPU specific pte-*.h file, and which defines some bits to "default" values if they haven't been defined already, and then provides a generic definition of most of the bit combinations based on these and exposed to the rest of the kernel. I also moved to the common pgtable.h most of the "small" accessors to the PTE bits and modification helpers (pte_mk*). The actual accessors remain in their separate files.
