From 1c12c4cf9411eb130b245fa8d0fbbaf989477c7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venki Pallipadi Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 16:05:51 -0700 Subject: mprotect: prevent alteration of the PAT bits There is a defect in mprotect, which lets the user change the page cache type bits by-passing the kernel reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrappers. Fix the problem by not letting mprotect change the PAT bits.
