commit ded94779 upstream. For LPAE, we have the following means for encoding writable or dirty ptes: L_PTE_DIRTY L_PTE_RDONLY !pte_dirty && !pte_write 0 1 !pte_dirty && pte_write 0 1 pte_dirty && !pte_write 1 1 pte_dirty && pte_write 1 0 So we can't distinguish between writeable clean ptes and read only ptes. This can cause problems with ptes being incorrectly flagged as read only when they are writeable but not dirty. This patch renumbers L_PTE_RDONLY from AP[2] to a software bit #58, and adds additional logic to set AP[2] whenever the pte is read only or not dirty. That way we can distinguish between clean writeable ptes and read only ptes. HugeTLB pages will use this new logic automatically. We need to add some logic to Transparent HugePages to ensure that they correctly interpret the revised pgprot permissions (L_PTE_RDONLY has moved and no longer matches PMD_SECT_AP2). In the process of revising THP, the names of the PMD software bits have been prefixed with L_ to make them easier to distinguish from their hardware bit counterparts.
