We don't need uptodate accessed/dirty bits, so in theory we could replace ptep_get_and_clear_full() by an optimized ptep_clear_full() function. Let's rely on the provided pte. Further, there is no scenario where we would have to insert uffd-wp markers when zapping something that is not a normal page (i.e., zeropage). Add a sanity check to make sure this remains true. should_zap_folio() no longer has to handle NULL pointers. This change replaces 2/3 "!page/!folio" checks by a single "!page" one. Note that arch_check_zapped_pte() on x86-64 checks the HW-dirty bit to detect shadow stack entries. But for shadow stack entries, the HW dirty bit (in combination with non-writable PTEs) is set by software. So for the arch_check_zapped_pte() check, we don't have to sync against HW setting the HW dirty bit concurrently, it is always set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
