Hi,
That's the second version of the pte accessors reworking series (first
version at [1]).
Changes since v1:
- READ_ONCE moved out of the cmpxchg loops since cmpxchg already returns
the old value (probably more efficient with LSE atomics)
- The first patch from the first series has been merged upstream (cc
stable)
- Kconfig entry kept just to disable the hardware feature but the code
paths all assume hardware AF/DBM
- PAGE_COPY(_EXEC) removed as they just duplicate PAGE_READONLY(_EXEC)
I kept the review-by tags in place as the logic is unchanged but feel
free to look at the patches again.
Thanks.
