[POWERPC] spufs: Avoid user-triggered oops in ptrace
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When one of the spufs files is mapped into a process address
space, regular users can use ptrace to attempt accessing
them with access_process_vm(). With the way that the
mappings currently work, this likely causes an oops.

Setting the vm_flags to VM_IO makes sure that ptrace can
not access them but returns an error code. This is not
the perfect solution in case of the local store mapping,
but it fixes the oops in a well-defined way.

Also remove leftover VM_RESERVED flags in spufs.  The
VM_RESERVED flag is on it's way out and not checked by
the memory managment code anymore.
