[PATCH 2/2] ARM: Proper prefetch abort handling on ARMv7

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Sep 18 2009 - 16:56:02 EST


Currently, on ARMv7, if an application tries to execute code
(or garbage) on non-executable page it hangs. It caused by incorrect
prefetch abort handling. Now every prefetch abort processes as
a translation fault.

To fix this we have to analize instruction fault status register
to figure out reason why we've got the abort and process it
accordingly.
