The arch_has_hw_pte_young() is false for riscv by default. If it's
false, page table walk is almost skipped for MGLRU reclaim. And it
will also cause useless step in __wp_page_copy_user().

RISC-V Privileged Book says that riscv have two schemes to manage A
and D bit.

So add a config for selecting, the default is true. For simple
implementation riscv CPU which just generate page fault, unselect it.

Hmm, I am not really sure if this is the right way to go. Should we
really be defaulting this option to enabled if there are going to be
implementations that do not support it?

Thanks,
Conor.

I totally disagree with this approach.

Almost all existing RISC-V platforms don't have HW support
PTE.A and PTE.D updates.

We want the same kernel image to run HW with/without PTE.A
and PTE.D updates so kconfig based approach is not going to
fly.

Drop the kconfig option ARCH_HAS_HARDWARE_PTE_YOUNG
and instead use code patching to return true only when Svadu
ISA extension is available in DT ISA string.

Indeed. I should have checked if there was an extension for this
first. It crossed my mind that we should only be enabling features
when the extensions are present, but looking at the privileged manual
isn't sufficient to learn about the Svadu extension. I should have
checked https://wiki.riscv.org/display/HOME/Specification+Status

Anyway, I retract my r-b and agree with Anup.

Svadu is a bit of a mess, for years it’s been legal to implement
hardware A/D tracking and such implementations exist (it’s what QEMU
has done for many years, and I know of an FPGA-based implementation
that does it too), yet RVA20S64 outlaws that by requiring what it calls
Ssptead and Svadu gets introduced to re-allow that behaviour gated
behind a CSR bit.

Hi Jinyu,

It seems like it has been a while since the last release of this patch. Do
you have any plans for the patch recently? Or, do you mind sharing any
internal progress on the patch?

We are starting to work on the Svadu extension of pte A/D bit feature on
Linux. Do you find any places where we may potentially work together to
get things moving? Also, I am willing to base on top of your work and
continue sending the series (by keeping all the credits from the original
work)

Please let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks :)

Regards,
Yong-Xuan

This task was assigned to me on the RISE kernel spreadsheet, if you 
indeed take over, I'll change it to your name: any objection?
