arm64: Fix potential race with hardware DBM in ptep_set_access_flags()
In a system with DBM (dirty bit management) capable agents there is a
possible race between a CPU executing ptep_set_access_flags() (maybe
non-DBM capable) and a hardware update of the dirty state (clearing of
PTE_RDONLY). The scenario:
a) the pte is writable (PTE_WRITE set), clean (PTE_RDONLY set) and old
(PTE_AF clear)
b) ptep_set_access_flags() is called as a result of a read access and it
needs to set the pte to writable, clean and young (PTE_AF set)
c) a DBM-capable agent, as a result of a different write access, is
marking the entry as young (setting PTE_AF) and dirty (clearing
PTE_RDONLY)
The current ptep_set_access_flags() implementation would set the
PTE_RDONLY bit in the resulting value overriding the DBM update and
losing the dirty state.
This patch fixes such race by setting PTE_RDONLY to the most permissive
(lowest value) of the current entry and the new one.
