Secure Encrypted Virtualization is an x86-specific feature, so it shouldn't
appear in generic kernel code because it forces non-x86 architectures to
define the sev_active() function, which doesn't make a lot of sense.
To solve this problem, add an x86 elfcorehdr_read() function to override
the
Secure Memory Encryption is an x86-specific feature, so it shouldn't appear
in generic kernel code.
Introduce ARCH_HAS_DMA_CHECK_MASK so that x86 can define its own
dma_check_mask() for the SME check.
In SWIOTLB code, there's no need to mention which memory encryption
feature is active. Also,
powerpc and s390 are going to use this feature as well, so put it in a
generic location.

Hello,
Both powerpc¹ and s390² are adding headers. Currently,
they have to supply definitions for functions and macros which only have a

It always returns 0 (success) and its return type should really be void.
Over that, many drivers have added error handling code based on its
return value, which is not required at all.
change its return type to void and update all the callers.

The rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() API name is confusing.
It is equivalent to rcu_dereference_raw() except that it also does
sparse pointer checking.
There are only a few users of rcu_dereference_raw_notrace(). This

The nr_allocated_banks and allocated banks are initialized as part of
