To support detection of read faults with Radix execute-only memory, the
vma_is_accessible() check in access_error() (which checks for PROT_NONE)
was replaced with a check to see if VM_READ was missing, and if so,
returns true to assert the fault was caused by a bad read.
This is incorrect, as it ignores that both VM_WRITE and VM_EXEC imply
read on powerpc, as defined in protection_map[]. This causes mappings
containing VM_WRITE or VM_EXEC without VM_READ to misreport the cause of
page faults, since the MMU is still allowing reads.
Correct this by restoring the original vma_is_accessible() check for
PROT_NONE mappings, and adding a separate check for Radix PROT_EXEC-only
mappings.

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.
