Tom Lendacky 57bd1905b2 acpi, x86/mm: Remove encryption mask from ACPI page protection type
The arch_apei_get_mem_attributes() function is used to set the page
protection type for ACPI physical addresses. When SME is active, the
associated protection type cannot have the encryption mask set since the
ACPI tables live in un-encrypted memory - the kernel will see corrupted
data.

To fix this, create a new protection type, PAGE_KERNEL_NOENC, that is a
'no encryption' version of PAGE_KERNEL, and return that from
arch_apei_get_mem_attributes().

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.
