From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 23:01:27 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86_32, mm: Remove user bit from identity map PDE X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7dda038756704b3562187b29c81f86de935148c6;p=linux-beck.git x86_32, mm: Remove user bit from identity map PDE The only reason that the user bit was set was to support userspace access to the compat vDSO in the fixmap. The compat vDSO is gone, so the user bit can be removed.
