Similar to our MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT handling for shared, writable mappings, we
can try mapping anonymous pages in a private writable mapping writable if
they are exclusive, the PTE is already dirty, and no special handling
applies. Mapping the anonymous page writable is essentially the same
thing the write fault handler would do in this case.
Special handling is required for uffd-wp and softdirty tracking, so take
care of that properly. Also, leave PROT_NONE handling alone for now; in
the future, we could similarly extend the logic in do_numa_page() or use
pte_mk_savedwrite() here.
While this improves mprotect(PROT_READ)+mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
performance, it should also be a valuable optimization for uffd-wp, when
un-protecting.
This has been previously suggested by Peter Collingbourne in [1], relevant
in the context of the Scudo memory allocator, before we had
PageAnonExclusive.
This commit doesn't add the same handling for PMDs (i.e., anonymous THP,
anonymous hugetlb); benchmark results from Andrea indicate that there are
minor performance gains, so it's might still be valuable to streamline
that logic for all anonymous pages in the future.
As we now also set MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT for private mappings, let's rename it
to MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, to make it clearer what's actually
happening.

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.
