Will Deacon 733e6db973 arm64: pgtable: Ensure dirty bit is preserved across pte_wrprotect()
commit ff1712f953e27f0b0718762ec17d0adb15c9fd0b 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
============

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.
