Hi Linus,
Please pull the arm64 fixes below. Thanks.
The following changes since commit ea0d55ae4b3207c33691a73da3443b1fd379f1d2:
arm64: debug: always unmask interrupts in el0_softstp() (2025-10-17 18:08:05 +0100)

arm64: mte: Do not warn if the page is already tagged in copy_highpage() (2025-10-23 17:34:58 +0100)
----------------------------------------------------------------
arm64 fixes:
- Do not make a clean PTE dirty in pte_mkwrite()
The Arm architecture, for backwards compatibility reasons (ARMv8.0
before in-hardware dirty bit management - DBM), uses the PTE_RDONLY
bit to mean !dirty while the PTE_WRITE bit means DBM enabled. The
arm64 pte_mkwrite() simply clears the PTE_RDONLY bit and this
inadvertently makes the PTE pte_hw_dirty(). Most places making a PTE
writable also invoke pte_mkdirty() but do_swap_page() does not and we
end up with dirty, freshly swapped in, writeable pages.
- Do not warn if the destination page is already MTE-tagged in
copy_highpage()
In the majority of the cases, a destination page copied into is
freshly allocated without the PG_mte_tagged flag set. However, the
folio migration may be restarted if __folio_migrate_mapping() failed,
triggering the benign WARN_ON_ONCE().
