Linus Torvalds 266ee584e5 arm64 fixes:
- Do not make a clean PTE dirty in pte_mkwrite()
 
    The Arm architecture, for backwards compatibility reasons (ARMv8.0
    before in-hardware dirty bit management - DBM), uses the PTE_RDONLY
    bit to mean !dirty while the PTE_WRITE bit means DBM enabled. The
    arm64 pte_mkwrite() simply clears the PTE_RDONLY bit and this
    inadvertently makes the PTE pte_hw_dirty(). Most places making a PTE
    writable also invoke pte_mkdirty() but do_swap_page() does not and we
    end up with dirty, freshly swapped in, writeable pages.
 
  - Do not warn if the destination page is already MTE-tagged in
    copy_highpage()
 
    In the majority of the cases, a destination page copied into is
    freshly allocated without the PG_mte_tagged flag set. However, the
    folio migration may be restarted if __folio_migrate_mapping() failed,
    triggering the benign WARN_ON_ONCE().

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 reStructuredText 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.
