Will Deacon 94bd4c7952 arm64: pgtable: Ensure dirty bit is preserved across pte_wrprotect()
commit ff1712f953 upstream.

With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable,
dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry.

Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that
the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for
soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
