Patch series "mm: Add soft-dirty and uffd-wp support for RISC-V", v15. This patchset adds support for Svrsw60t59b [1] extension which is ratified now, also add soft dirty and userfaultfd write protect tracking for RISC-V. The patches 1 and 2 add macros to allow architectures to define their own checks if the soft-dirty / uffd_wp PTE bits are available, in other words for RISC-V, the Svrsw60t59b extension is supported on which device the kernel is running. Also patch1-2 are removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" "ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_USERFAULTFD_WP" and "ifdef CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" in favor of checks which if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. This patchset has been tested with kselftest mm suite in which soft-dirty, madv_populate, test_unmerge_uffd_wp, and uffd-unit-tests run and pass, and no regressions are observed in any of the other tests. This patch (of 6): Some platforms can customize the PTE PMD entry soft-dirty bit making it unavailable even if the architecture provides the resource. Add an API which architectures can define their specific implementations to detect if soft-dirty bit is available on which device the kernel is running. This patch is removing "ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY" in favor of pgtable_supports_soft_dirty() checks that defaults to IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY), if not overridden by the architecture, no change in behavior is expected. We make sure to never set VM_SOFTDIRTY if !pgtable_supports_soft_dirty(), so we will never run into VM_SOFTDIRTY checks.

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 reStructuredText 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.
