commitaa57157be6upstream. Shared and writable mappings (__S.1.) should be clean (!dirty) initially and made dirty on a subsequent write either through the hardware DBM (dirty bit management) mechanism or through a write page fault. A clean pte for the arm64 kernel is one that has PTE_RDONLY set and PTE_DIRTY clear. The PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} attributes have PTE_WRITE set (PTE_DBM) and PTE_DIRTY clear. Prior to commit73e86cb03c("arm64: Move PTE_RDONLY bit handling out of set_pte_at()"), it was the responsibility of set_pte_at() to set the PTE_RDONLY bit and mark the pte clean if the software PTE_DIRTY bit was not set. However, the above commit removed the pte_sw_dirty() check and the subsequent setting of PTE_RDONLY in set_pte_at() while leaving the PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} definitions unchanged. The result is that shared+writable mappings are now dirty by default Fix the above by explicitly setting PTE_RDONLY in PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC}. In addition, remove the superfluous PTE_DIRTY bit from the kernel PROT_* attributes.

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.
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.
