From: Will Deacon will@kernel.org Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 13:57:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: pgtable: Ensure dirty bit is preserved across pte_wrprotect()
With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable, dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry.
Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.
