Propagate the GPA PTE protection bits on to the GVA PTEs on a KSeg0 fault (except _PAGE_WRITE), rather than always overriding the protection. This allows dirty page tracking to work in KSeg0 as a clear dirty bit in the GPA PTE will propagate to the GVA PTEs. This makes it simpler to use a single kvm_mips_map_page() to obtain both the main GPA PTE and its buddy (which may be invalid), which also allows memory regions to be fully accessible when they don't start and end on a 2*PAGE_SIZE boundary.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
