Currently, update_mmu_cache will crash if given a no-access PTE. There's no need to synchronize dcache/icache unless it's an exec mapping -- however, due to the existence of older glibc versions that execute out of a read-but-no-exec page, readability is tested instead. This assumes no exec-only mappings; if such mappings become supported, they will need to go through the kmap_atomic() version of dcache/icache synchronization. This fixes a bug reported by some users where the kernel would crash while dumping core on a threaded program.
