Pull arm64 fix from Will Deacon:
 "Fix pte_same() to avoid getting stuck on write fault.

  This single arm64 fix is a revert of 747a70e60b ("arm64: Fix
  copy-on-write referencing in HugeTLB"), not because that patch was
  wrong, but because it was broken by aa57157be6 ("arm64: Ensure
  VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default") which we merged in
  -rc6.

  We spotted the issue in Android (AOSP), where one of the JIT threads
  gets stuck on a write fault during boot because the faulting pte is
  marked as PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE | PTE_RDONLY and the fault handler
  decides that there's nothing to do thanks to pte_same() masking out
  PTE_RDONLY.

  Thanks to John Stultz for reporting this and testing this so quickly,
  and to Steve Capper for confirming that the HugeTLB tests continue to
  pass"

README

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.
