2021-02-24	mm/debug_vm_pgtable/basic: add validation for dirtiness after write protect	Anshuman Khandual	1	-4/+4
	Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Some minor updates", v3. This series contains some cleanups and new test suggestions from Catalin from an earlier discussion. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201123142237.GF17833@gaia/ This patch (of 2): This adds validation tests for dirtiness after write protect conversion for each page table level. There are two new separate test types involved here. The first test ensures that a given page table entry does not become dirty after pxx_wrprotect(). This is important for platforms like arm64 which transfers and drops the hardware dirty bit (!PTE_RDONLY) to the software dirty bit while making it an write protected one. This test ensures that no fresh page table entry could be created with hardware dirty bit set. The second test ensures that a given page table entry always preserve the dirty information across pxx_wrprotect(). This adds two previously missing PUD level basic tests and while here fixes pxx_wrprotect() related typos in the documentation file.

2020-08-07	Documentation/mm: add descriptions for arch page table helpers	Anshuman Khandual	1	-0/+258
	This adds a specific description file for all arch page table helpers which is in sync with the semantics being tested via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE. All future changes either to these descriptions here or the debug test should always remain in sync.
