Patch series "mm: (pte|pmd)_mkdirty() should not unconditionally allow for write access". This is the follow-up on [1], adding selftests (testing for known issues we added workarounds for and other issues that haven't been fixed yet), fixing sparc64, reverting the workarounds, and perform one cleanup. The patch from [1] was modified slightly (updated/extended patch description, dropped one unnecessary NOP instruction from the ASM in __pte_mkhwwrite()). Retested on x86_64 and sparc64 (sun4u in QEMU). I scanned most architectures to make sure their (pte|pmd)_mkdirty() handling is correct. To be sure, we can run the selftests and find out if other architectures are still affectes (loongarch was fixed recently as well). Based on master for now. I don't expect surprises regarding mm-tress, but I can rebase if there are any problems. This patch (of 6): The COW selftest can deal with THP not being configured. So move error handling of read_pmd_pagesize() into the callers such that we can reuse it in the COW selftest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
