There is a cludge in change_page_attr_set_clr() that inhibits
propagating NX changes to the aliases (directmap and highmap) -- this
is a cludge twofold:
- it also inhibits the primary checks in __change_page_attr();
- it hard depends on single bit changes.
The introduction of set_memory_rox() triggered this last issue for
clearing both _PAGE_RW and _PAGE_NX.
Explicitly ignore _PAGE_NX in cpa_process_alias() instead.

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.
