Description: Support for hardware updates of the Access and Dirty page flags

More info: The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. When enabled in TCR_EL1 (HA and HD bits) on capable processors, accesses to pages with PTE_AF cleared will set this bit instead of raising an access flag fault. Similarly, writes to read-only pages with the DBM bit set will clear the read-only bit (AP[2]) instead of raising a permission fault. Kernels built with this configuration option enabled continue to work on pre-ARMv8.1 hardware and the performance impact is minimal. If unsure, say Y.
