<title>sparc/mm: don't unconditionally set HW writable bit when setting PTE dirty on 64bit</title>

On sparc64, there is no HW modified bit, therefore, SW tracks via a SW bit
if the PTE is dirty via pte_mkdirty().  However, pte_mkdirty() currently
also unconditionally sets the HW writable bit, which is wrong.

pte_mkdirty() is not supposed to make a PTE actually writable, unless the
SW writable bit -- pte_write() -- indicates that the PTE is not
write-protected.  Fortunately, sparc64 also defines a SW writable bit.

For example, this already turned into a problem in the context of THP
splitting as documented in commit 624a2c94f5b7 ("Partly revert "mm/thp:
carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd""), and for page migration, as
documented in commit 96a9c287e25d ("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write
bit after mkdirty on sparc64").

Also, we might want to use the dirty PTE bit in the context of KSM with
shared zeropage [1], whereby setting the page writable would be
problematic.

But more general, any code that might end up setting a PTE/PMD dirty
inside a VM without write permissions is possibly broken,

Before this commit (sun4u in QEMU):

Test #3,#4,#5 pass ever since we added some MM workarounds, the
underlying issue remains.

Let's fix the remaining issues and prepare for reverting the workarounds
by setting the HW writable bit only if both, the SW dirty bit and the SW
writable bit are set.

We have to move pte_dirty() and pte_write() up. The code patching
mechanism and handling constants &gt; 22bit is a bit special on sparc64.

The ASM logic in pte_mkdirty() and pte_mkwrite() match the logic in
pte_mkold() to create the mask depending on the machine type. The ASM
logic in __pte_mkhwwrite() matches the logic in pte_present(), just
using an "or" instead of an "and" instruction.

This handling seems to have been in place forever.

Sparc is the only place devtree_lock is used outside of drivers/of/.
Move the devtree_lock declaration into of_private.h and Sparc's prom.h
so pulling in spinlock.h to of.h can be avoided for everything besides
Sparc.

Add a line in /proc/$PID/status to report untag_mask. It can be
used to find out LAM status of the process from the outside. It is

untagged_addr() removes tags/metadata from the address and brings it to
the canonical form. The helper is implemented on arm64 and sparc. Both of
them do untagging based on global rules.

However, Linear Address Masking (LAM) on x86 introduces per-process
settings for untagging. As a result, untagged_addr() is now only
suitable for untagging addresses for the current proccess.

The new helper untagged_addr_remote() has to be used when the address
targets remote process. It requires the mmap lock for target mm to be
taken.
