Let's always ignore the accessed/young bit: we'll always mark the PTE as old in our child process during fork, and upcoming users will similarly not care. Ignore the dirty bit only if we don't want to duplicate the dirty bit into the child process during fork. Maybe, we could just set all PTEs in the child dirty if any PTE is dirty. For now, let's keep the behavior unchanged, this can be optimized later if required. Ignore the soft-dirty bit only if the bit doesn't have any meaning in the src vma, and similarly won't have any in the copied dst vma. For now, we won't bother with the uffd-wp bit.

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.
