From 3625c2c234ef66acf21a72d47a5ffa94f6c5ebf2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 04:15:18 -0700 Subject: x86/mm: Fix types used in pgprot cacheability flags translations For PAE kernels "unsigned long" is not suitable to hold page protection flags, since _PAGE_NX doesn't fit there. This is the reason for quite a few W+X pages getting reported as insecure during boot (observed namely for the entire initrd range).
