Subject[ 009/123] arm64: Make !dirty ptes read-only
Date
3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

commit 33eaa58f854770dc9c98411a356c98e3a53edfda upstream.

The AArch64 Linux port relies on the mm code to wrprotect clean ptes.
This however is not the case with newly created ptes and
PAGE_SHARED(_EXEC) is writable but !dirty.
