Thomas Hellstrom 7037828ef7 x86: Don't let pgprot_modify() change the page encryption bit
[ Upstream commit 6db73f17c5f155dbcfd5e48e621c706270b84df0 ]

When SEV or SME is enabled and active, vm_get_page_prot() typically
returns with the encryption bit set. This means that users of
pgprot_modify(, vm_get_page_prot()) (mprotect_fixup(), do_mmap()) end up
with a value of vma->vm_pg_prot that is not consistent with the intended
protection of the PTEs.

This is also important for fault handlers that rely on the VMA
vm_page_prot to set the page protection. Fix this by not allowing
pgprot_modify() to change the encryption bit, similar to how it's done
for PAT bits.

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.
