Subject: [PATCHv2 3/3] powerpc/ptdump: Show the exec flag of kernel mappings on e500
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 18:01:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <074831f06e18d1b8cff91e7588aa7985077dd538.1794572365.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1794572365.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

On e500, _PAGE_EXEC is made of two bits, _PAGE_BAP_SX and _PAGE_BAP_UX,
and a kernel mapping only has _PAGE_BAP_SX (supervisor bit). The flag
table requires all the bits of the mask to be set to print "X", so
kernel_page_tables never shows a kernel mapping as executable:

w/o this patch:
  0xf1015000-0xf1015fff  0x00000000         4K PTE   r          present  coherent                  accessed

Print "X" when any of the bits is set the same way it is done for
_PAGE_READ and _PAGE_WRITE:

with this patch:
  0xf1015000-0xf1015fff  0x00000000         4K PTE   r      X   present  coherent                  accessed

This only changes what is displayed. ptdump_check_wx() uses pte_exec()
which already tests for either of the bits.
