ARM: 8721/1: mm: dump: check hardware RO bit for LPAE
When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software
read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This
concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable
(AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit.
In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this:
---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD
0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M ro x SHD
0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M ro NX SHD
0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD
The fix is to check that the software and hardware bits are both
set before displaying "ro". The dump then shows the true perms:
---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
0xc0000000-0xc0200000 2M RW NX SHD
0xc0200000-0xc0600000 4M RW x SHD
0xc0600000-0xc0800000 2M RW NX SHD
0xc0800000-0xc4800000 64M RW NX SHD
