commit 588a513d34257fdde95a9f0df0202e31998e85c6 upstream. To ensure that instructions are observable in a new mapping, the arm64 set_pte_at() implementation cleans the D-cache and invalidates the I-cache to the PoU. As an optimisation, this is only done on executable mappings and the PG_dcache_clean page flag is set to avoid future cache maintenance on the same page. When two different processes map the same page (e.g. private executable file or shared mapping) there's a potential race on checking and setting PG_dcache_clean via set_pte_at() -> __sync_icache_dcache(). While on the fault paths the page is locked (PG_locked), mprotect() does not take the page lock. The result is that one process may see the PG_dcache_clean flag set but the I/D cache maintenance not yet performed. Avoid test_and_set_bit(PG_dcache_clean) in favour of separate test_bit() and set_bit(). In the rare event of a race, the cache maintenance is done twice.

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.
