Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] ARM: mm: cleanup page fault and fix pxn process issue

The patchset cleanup ARM page fault handle to improve readability,
fix the page table entries printing and fix infinite loop in the
page fault handler when user code execution with privilege mode if
ARM_LPAE enabled.

 ...

v3:
- drop the fix about page table printing
- kill page table base print instead of printing the physical address
- only die when permission fault both kernel-mode and user code execution
  with privilege mode
- drop LPAE specific

v2:
- split patch into smaller changes suggested by Russell
- fix page table printing in show_pte()
- add new die_kernel_fault() helper 
- report "execution of user memory" when user code execution with
  privilege mode


Kefeng Wang (6):
  ARM: mm: Rafactor the __do_page_fault()
  ARM: mm: Kill task_struct argument for __do_page_fault()
  ARM: mm: Cleanup access_error()
  ARM: mm: Kill page table base print in show_pte()
  ARM: mm: Provide die_kernel_fault() helper
  ARM: mm: Fix PXN process with LPAE feature
