KVM: arm/arm64: Preserve Exec permission across R/W permission faults
So far, we loose the Exec property whenever we take permission faults, as we always reconstruct the PTE/PMD from scratch. This can be counter productive as we can end-up with the following fault sequence: X -> RO -> ROX -> RW -> RWX Instead, we can lookup the existing PTE/PMD and clear the XN bit in the new entry if it was already cleared in the old one, leadig to a much nicer fault sequence: X -> ROX -> RWX Reviewed-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>
