arm64: Implement ptep_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM
commit 66dbd6e61a526ae7d11a208238ae2c17e5cacb6b upstream.
When hardware updates of the access and dirty states are enabled, the
default ptep_set_access_flags() implementation based on calling
set_pte_at() directly is potentially racy. This triggers the "racy dirty
state clearing" warning in set_pte_at() because an existing writable PTE
is overridden with a clean entry.
There are two main scenarios for this situation:
1. The CPU getting an access fault does not support hardware updates of
the access/dirty flags. However, a different agent in the system
(e.g. SMMU) can do this, therefore overriding a writable entry with a
clean one could potentially lose the automatically updated dirty
status
2. A more complex situation is possible when all CPUs support hardware
AF/DBM:
a) Initial state: shareable + writable vma and pte_none(pte)
b) Read fault taken by two threads of the same process on different
CPUs
c) CPU0 takes the mmap_sem and proceeds to handling the fault. It
eventually reaches do_set_pte() which sets a writable + clean pte.
CPU0 releases the mmap_sem
d) CPU1 acquires the mmap_sem and proceeds to handle_pte_fault(). The
pte entry it reads is present, writable and clean and it continues
to pte_mkyoung()
e) CPU1 calls ptep_set_access_flags()
If between (d) and (e) the hardware (another CPU) updates the dirty
state (clears PTE_RDONLY), CPU1 will override the PTR_RDONLY bit
marking the entry clean again.
This patch implements an arm64-specific ptep_set_access_flags() function
to perform an atomic update of the PTE flags.
