Commit ac29c64089b7 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with _PAGE_PRIVILEGED") swapped _PAGE_USER for _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, and introduced check_pte_access() which denied kernel access to non-_PAGE_PRIVILEGED pages. However, it didn't add _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler for spufs' kernel accesses, so the DMAs required to establish SPE memory no longer work. This change adds _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler for kernel accesses.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
