If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Catalin Marinas commit c25c4aa3f79a488cc270507935a29c07dc6bddfc upstream. Commit 143937ca51cc ("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 aa57157be69f ("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.
