In normal cases, it can be helpful to create Write=1 PTEs as also Dirty=1 if HW dirty tracking is not needed, because if the Dirty bit is not already set the CPU has to set Dirty=1 when the memory gets written to. This creates additional work for the CPU. So traditional wisdom was to simply set the Dirty bit whenever you didn't care about it. However, it was never really very helpful for read-only kernel memory. When CR4.CET=1 and IA32_S_CET.SH_STK_EN=1, some instructions can write to such supervisor memory. The kernel does not set IA32_S_CET.SH_STK_EN, so avoiding kernel Write=0,Dirty=1 memory is not strictly needed for any functional reason. But having Write=0,Dirty=1 kernel memory doesn't have any functional benefit either, so to reduce ambiguity between shadow stack and regular Write=0 pages, remove Dirty=1 from any kernel Write=0 PTEs.
