kvm_set_pte is called to replace a target PTE with a desired one.
We always do this without changing the desired one, but if dirty
status set by hardware is coverred, let caller know it.

This usage of *ptep looks wrong - it's read twice using READ_ONCE (once in kvm_s2pte_dbm()) and once without any decoration (in the pte_none() call). Which looks a bit dodgy and at the very least needs some justification. AFAICT you would be better taking a local copy and using that rather than reading from memory repeatedly.

+	do {
+		old_pteval = pteval;
+		pteval = cmpxchg_relaxed(&pte_val(*ptep), old_pteval, new_pteval);
+	} while (pteval != old_pteval);
This look appears to be reinventing xchg_relaxed(). Any reason we can't just use xchg_relaxed()? Also we had a dsb() after the WRITE_ONCE but you are using the _relaxed variant here. What is the justification for not having a barrier?

+
+	return !kvm_s2pte_readonly(&__pte(pteval));

+static inline bool kvm_set_pte(pte_t *ptep, pte_t new_pte)

  }
+#endif /* CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM */

You might be able to avoid this #ifdef by redefining old_logging as:

  old_logging = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM) && ...

I *think* the compiler should be able to kill the dead code and leave you with just the above when the config symbol is off.
