Stephen Boyd b824b93068 arm64: print a fault message when attempting to write RO memory
If a page is marked read only we should print out that fact,
instead of printing out that there was a page fault. Right now we
get a cryptic error message that something went wrong with an
unhandled fault, but we don't evaluate the esr to figure out that
it was a read/write permission fault.

Instead of seeing:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff000008e460d8
  pgd = ffff800003504000
  [ffff000008e460d8] *pgd=0000000083473003, *pud=0000000083503003, *pmd=0000000000000000
  Internal error: Oops: 9600004f [#1] PREEMPT SMP

we'll see:

  Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual address ffff000008e760d8
  pgd = ffff80003d3de000
  [ffff000008e760d8] *pgd=0000000083472003, *pud=0000000083435003, *pmd=0000000000000000
  Internal error: Oops: 9600004f [#1] PREEMPT SMP

We also add a userspace address check into is_permission_fault()
so that the function doesn't return true for ttbr0 PAN faults
when it shouldn't.

README

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.
