When user code execution with privilege mode, it will lead to
infinite loop in the page fault handler if ARM_LPAE enabled,
The issue could be reproduced with
"echo EXEC_USERSPACE > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT"
As Permission fault shows in ARM spec,
IFSR format when using the Short-descriptor translation table format
Permission fault: 01101 First level 01111 Second level
IFSR format when using the Long-descriptor translation table format
Permission fault: 0011LL LL bits indicate levelb.
Add is_permission_fault() function to check permission fault and die
if permission fault occurred under instruction fault in do_page_fault().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
