Loongson-3A6000 and newer processors have hardware page table walker (PTW) support. PTW can handle all fastpaths of TLBI/TLBL/TLBS/TLBM exceptions by hardware, software only need to handle slowpaths (page faults). BTW, PTW doesn't append _PAGE_MODIFIED for page table entries, so we change pmd_dirty() and pte_dirty() to also check _PAGE_DIRTY for the "dirty" attribute.

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.
