There used to be a dependency on _PAGE_PRIVILEGED with pte_savedwrite.
But that got dropped by
commit 6a56ccbcf6c6 ("mm/autonuma: use can_change_(pte|pmd)_writable() to replace savedwrite")
With the change in this patch numa fault pte (pte_protnone()) gets mapped as regular user pte
with RWX cleared (no-access) whereas earlier it used to be mapped _PAGE_PRIVILEGED.
Hash fault handling code gets some WARN_ON added in this patch because
those functions are not expected to get called with _PAGE_READ cleared.
commit 18061c17c8ec ("powerpc/mm: Update PROTFAULT handling in the page
fault path") explains the details.

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.
