In page table entry modifying tests, set_xxx_at() are used to populate
the page table entries. On ARM64, PG_arch_1 (PG_dcache_clean) flag is
set to the target page flag if execution permission is given. The logic
exits since commit 4f04d8f00545 ("arm64: MMU definitions"). The page
flag is kept when the page is free'd to buddy's free area list. However,
it will trigger page checking failure when it's pulled from the buddy's
free area list, as the following warning messages indicate.

page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP flag(s) set
This fixes the issue by clearing PG_arch_1 through flush_dcache_page()
after set_xxx_at() is called. For architectures other than ARM64, the
unexpected overhead of cache flushing is acceptable.

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.
