Let's add some tests that trigger (pte|pmd)_mkdirty on VMAs without write permissions. If an architecture implementation is wrong, we might accidentally set the PTE/PMD writable and allow for write access in a VMA without write permissions. The tests include reproducers for the two issues recently discovered and worked-around in core-MM for now: (1) commit624a2c94f5("Partly revert "mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd"") (2) commit96a9c287e2("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write bit after mkdirty on sparc64") In addition, some other tests that reveal further issues. All tests pass under x86_64: ./mkdirty # [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB TAP version 13 1..6 # [INFO] PTRACE write access ok 1 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTRACE write access to THP ok 2 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration ok 3 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration of THP ok 4 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTE-mapping a THP ok 5 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY ok 6 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # Totals: pass:6 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 But some fail on sparc64: ./mkdirty # [INFO] detected THP size: 8192 KiB TAP version 13 1..6 # [INFO] PTRACE write access not ok 1 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTRACE write access to THP not ok 2 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration ok 3 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration of THP ok 4 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTE-mapping a THP ok 5 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY not ok 6 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified Bail out! 3 out of 6 tests failed # Totals: pass:3 fail:3 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 Reverting both above commits makes all tests fail on sparc64: ./mkdirty # [INFO] detected THP size: 8192 KiB TAP version 13 1..6 # [INFO] PTRACE write access not ok 1 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTRACE write access to THP not ok 2 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration not ok 3 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] Page migration of THP not ok 4 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] PTE-mapping a THP not ok 5 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified # [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY not ok 6 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified Bail out! 6 out of 6 tests failed # Totals: pass:0 fail:6 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 The tests are useful to detect other problematic archs, to verify new arch fixes, and to stop such issues from reappearing in the future. For now, we don't add any hugetlb tests.

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.
