arm64: mm: Add PTE_DIRTY back to PAGE_KERNEL* to fix kexec/hibernation
Commit 143937c ("arm64, mm: avoid always making PTE dirty in
pte_mkwrite()") changed pte_mkwrite_novma() to only clear PTE_RDONLY
when PTE_DIRTY is set. This was to allow writable-clean PTEs for swap
pages that haven't actually been written.
However, this broke kexec and hibernation for some platforms. Both go
through trans_pgd_create_copy() -> _copy_pte(), which calls
pte_mkwrite_novma() to make the temporary linear-map copy fully
writable. With the updated pte_mkwrite_novma(), read-only kernel pages
(without PTE_DIRTY) remain read-only in the temporary mapping.
While such behaviour is fine for user pages where hardware DBM or
trapping will make them writeable, subsequent in-kernel writes by the
kexec relocation code will fault.
Add PTE_DIRTY back to all _PAGE_KERNEL* protection definitions. This was
the case prior to 5.4, commit aa57157 ("arm64: Ensure
VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default"). With the kernel
linear-map PTEs always having PTE_DIRTY set, pte_mkwrite_novma()
correctly clears PTE_RDONLY.
