Logan Gunthorpe bfeb022f8f mm/memory_hotplug: add pgprot_t to mhp_params
devm_memremap_pages() is currently used by the PCI P2PDMA code to create
struct page mappings for IO memory.  At present, these mappings are
created with PAGE_KERNEL which implies setting the PAT bits to be WB.
However, on x86, an mtrr register will typically override this and force
the cache type to be UC-.  In the case firmware doesn't set this
register it is effectively WB and will typically result in a machine
check exception when it's accessed.

Other arches are not currently likely to function correctly seeing they
don't have any MTRR registers to fall back on.

To solve this, provide a way to specify the pgprot value explicitly to
arch_add_memory().

Of the arches that support MEMORY_HOTPLUG: x86_64, and arm64 need a
simple change to pass the pgprot_t down to their respective functions
which set up the page tables.  For x86_32, set the page tables
explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are already mapped).

For ia64, s390 and sh, reject anything but PAGE_KERNEL settings -- this
should be fine, for now, seeing these architectures don't support
ZONE_DEVICE.

A check in __add_pages() is also added to ensure the pgprot parameter
was set for all arches.

README

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.
