On arm64 without hardware Access Flag, copying from user will fail because the pte is old and cannot be marked young. So we always end up with zeroed page after fork() + CoW for pfn mappings. We don't always have a hardware-managed Access Flag on arm64. Hence implement arch_faults_on_old_pte on arm64 to indicate that it might cause page fault when accessing old pte.

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.
