e500 MMU has 6 page protection bits: - R, W, X for supervisor - R, W, X for user It means that it can support X without R. To do that, _PAGE_READ flag is needed. With 32 bits PTE there is no bit available for it in PTE. On the other hand the only real use of _PAGE_USER is to implement PAGE_NONE by clearing _PAGE_USER. As _PAGE_NONE can also be implemented by clearing _PAGE_READ, remove _PAGE_USER and add _PAGE_READ. Move _PAGE_PRESENT into bit 30 so that _PAGE_READ can match SR bit. With 64 bits PTE _PAGE_USER is already the combination of SR and UR so all we need to do is to rename it _PAGE_READ.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
