Introduce PAGE_EXECONLY_X macro which provides exec-only rights. The _X may be seen as redundant with the EXECONLY but it helps keep consistency, all macros having the EXEC right have _X. And put it next to PAGE_NONE as PAGE_EXECONLY_X is somehow PAGE_NONE + EXEC just like all other SOMETHING_X are just SOMETHING + EXEC. On book3s/64 PAGE_EXECONLY becomes PAGE_READONLY_X. On book3s/64, as PAGE_EXECONLY is only valid for Radix add VM_READ flag in vm_get_page_prot() for non-Radix. And update access_error() so that a non exec fault on a VM_EXEC only mapping is always invalid, even when the underlying layer don't always generate a fault for that. For 8xx, set PAGE_EXECONLY_X as _PAGE_NA | _PAGE_EXEC. For others, only set it as just _PAGE_EXEC With that change, 8xx, e500 and 44x fully honor execute-only protection. On 40x that is a partial implementation of execute-only. The implementation won't be complete because once a TLB has been loaded via the Instruction TLB miss handler, it will be possible to read the page. But at least it can't be read unless it is executed first. On 603 MMU, TLB missed are handled by SW and there are separate DTLB and ITLB. Execute-only is therefore now supported by not loading DTLB when read access is not permitted. On hash (604) MMU it is more tricky because hash table is common to load/store and execute. Nevertheless it is still possible to check whether _PAGE_READ is set before loading hash table for a load/store access. At least it can't be read unless it is executed first.

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.
