The set_pte_at() function must update the hardware PTE_RDONLY bit
depending on the state of the PTE_WRITE and PTE_DIRTY bits of the given
entry value. However, it currently only performs this for pte_valid()
entries, ignoring PTE_PROT_NONE. The side-effect is that PROT_NONE
mappings would not have the PTE_RDONLY bit set. Without
CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM, this is not an issue since such PROT_NONE pages
are not accessible anyway.
With commit 2f4b829c62 ("arm64: Add support for hardware updates of
the access and dirty pte bits"), the ptep_set_wrprotect() function was
re-written to cope with automatic hardware updates of the dirty state.
As an optimisation, only PTE_RDONLY is checked to assess the "dirty"
status. Since set_pte_at() does not set this bit for PROT_NONE mappings,
such pages may be considered "dirty" as a result of
ptep_set_wrprotect().
This patch updates the pte_valid() check to pte_present() in
set_pte_at(). It also adds PTE_PROT_NONE to the swap entry bits comment.
