Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s/radix: Fix soft dirty tracking
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It was reported that soft dirty tracking doesn't work when using the Radix MMU.

The tracking is supposed to work by clearing the soft dirty bit for a mapping and then write protecting the PTE. If/when the page is written to, a page fault occurs and the soft dirty bit is added back via pte_mkdirty(). For example in wp_page_reuse():

	entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma);
	if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte, entry, 1))
		update_mmu_cache(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte);

Unfortunately on radix _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY is being dropped by radix__ptep_set_access_flags(), called from ptep_set_access_flags(), meaning the soft dirty bit is not set even though the page has been written to.

Fix it by adding _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY to the set of bits that are able to be changed in radix__ptep_set_access_flags().
