Mikulas Patocka da0d5ccf84 ext2: don't update mtime on COW faults 
commit 1ef6ea0efe upstream.

When running in a dax mode, if the user maps a page with MAP_PRIVATE and
PROT_WRITE, the ext2 filesystem would incorrectly update ctime and mtime
when the user hits a COW fault.

This breaks building of the Linux kernel.  How to reproduce:

 1. extract the Linux kernel tree on dax-mounted ext2 filesystem
 2. run make clean
 3. run make -j12
 4. run make -j12

at step 4, make would incorrectly rebuild the whole kernel (although it
was already built in step 3).

The reason for the breakage is that almost all object files depend on
objtool.  When we run objtool, it takes COW page fault on its .data
section, and these faults will incorrectly update the timestamp of the
objtool binary.  The updated timestamp causes make to rebuild the whole
tree.

README 

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
