Currently PTE_RDONLY is treated as a hardware only bit and not handled by the pte_mkwrite(), pte_wrprotect() or the user PAGE_* definitions. The set_pte_at() function is responsible for setting this bit based on the write permission or dirty state. This patch moves the PTE_RDONLY handling out of set_pte_at into the pte_mkwrite()/pte_wrprotect() functions. The PAGE_* definitions to need to be updated to explicitly include PTE_RDONLY when !PTE_WRITE. The patch also removes the redundant PAGE_COPY(_EXEC) definitions as they are identical to the corresponding PAGE_READONLY(_EXEC).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
