Commit8aeb7b17f0("RISC-V: Make mmap() with PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ") allows riscv to use mmap with PROT_WRITE only, and meanwhile mmap with w+x is also permitted. However, when userspace tries to access this page with PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, which causes infinite loop at load page fault as well as it triggers soft lockup. According to riscv privileged spec, "Writable pages must also be marked readable". The fix to drop the `PAGE_COPY_READ_EXEC` and then `PAGE_COPY_EXEC` would be just used instead. This aligns the other arches (i.e arm64) for protection_map.

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.
