From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> commit aa57157be69fb599bd4c38a4b75c5aad74a60ec0 upstream. 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 commit 73e86cb03cf2 ("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.
