If a stage-2 page-table contains an executable, read-only mapping at the pte level (e.g. due to dirty logging being enabled), a subsequent write fault to the same page which tries to install a larger block mapping (e.g. due to dirty logging having been disabled) will erroneously inherit the exec permission and consequently skip I-cache invalidation for the rest of the block. Ensure that exec permission is only inherited by write faults when the new mapping is of the same size as the existing one. A subsequent instruction abort will result in I-cache invalidation for the entire block mapping.

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.
