Commit26973fa5ac("powerpc/mm: use pte helpers in generic code") changed those two functions to use pte helpers to determine which bits to clear and which bits to set. This change was based on the assumption that bits to be set/cleared are always the same and can be determined by applying the pte manipulation helpers on __pte(0). But on platforms like book3e, the bits depend on whether the page is a user page or not. For the time being it more or less works because of _PAGE_EXEC being used for user pages only and exec right being set at all time on kernel page. But following patch will clean that and output of pte_mkexec() will depend on the page being a user or kernel page. Instead of trying to make an even more complicated helper where bits would become dependent on the final pte value, come back to a more static situation like before commit26973fa5ac("powerpc/mm: use pte helpers in generic code"), by introducing an 8xx specific version of __ptep_set_access_flags() and ptep_set_wrprotect().

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.
