This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled arm64: mm: don't treat user cache maintenance faults as writes to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.6. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 79e62174dcfb255247ff97c48ae14628f077ef29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 15:37:12 +0100 Subject: arm64: mm: don't treat user cache maintenance faults as writes commit db6f41063cbdb58b14846e600e6bc3f4e4c2e888 upstream. On arm64, cache maintenance faults appear as data aborts with the CM bit set in the ESR. The WnR bit, usually used to distinguish between faulting loads and stores, always reads as 1 and (slightly confusingly) the instructions are treated as reads by the architecture. This patch fixes our fault handling code to treat cache maintenance faults in the same way as loads.
