Architectures like ppc64, use privilege access bit to mark pte non accessible. This implies that kernel can do a copy_to_user to an address marked for numa fault. This also implies that there can be a parallel hardware update for the pte. set_pte_at cannot be used in such scenarios. Hence switch the pte update to use ptep_get_and_clear and set_pte_at combination.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
