acpi, x86/mm: Remove encryption mask from ACPI page protection type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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().
