By default page protection definitions like PAGE_RX have the _PAGE_NOEXEC bit set. For older machines without the instruction execution protection facility this bit is not allowed to be used in page table entries, and therefore must be removed. This is done at a couple of page table walkers, but also at some but not all page table modification functions like ptep_modify_prot_commit(). Avoid all of this and change the page, segment and region3 protection definitions so that the noexec bit is masked out automatically if the instruction execution-protection facility is not available. This is similar to what also various other architectures do which had to solve the same problem.

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 reStructuredText 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.
