Hi,
During recent discussion about KVM protected memory, David raised a concern about usage of __kernel_map_pages() outside of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC scope [1].
Indeed, for architectures that define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP it is possible that __kernel_map_pages() would fail, but since this function is void, the failure will go unnoticed.
Moreover, there's lack of consistency of __kernel_map_pages() semantics across architectures as some guard this function with #ifdef DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, some refuse to update the direct map if page allocation debugging is disabled at run time and some allow modifying the direct map regardless of DEBUG_PAGEALLOC settings.
This set straightens this out by restoring dependency of __kernel_map_pages() on DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and updating the call sites accordingly.
Since currently the only user of __kernel_map_pages() outside DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is hibernation, it is updated to make direct map accesses there more explicit.

v6 changes: * revert slab changes to avoid redundant check of static key
v5 changes: * use pairs of _map()/_unmap() functions instead of _map(..., int enable) as Vlastimil suggested https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201108065758.1815-1-rppt@kernel.org
v4 changes: * s/WARN_ON/pr_warn_once/ per David and Kirill * rebase on v5.10-rc2 * add Acked/Reviewed tags https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201103162057.22916-1-rppt@kernel.org
v3 changes: * update arm64 changes to avoid regression, per Rick's comments * fix bisectability https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201101170815.9795-1-rppt@kernel.org
v2 changes: * Rephrase patch 2 changelog to better describe the change intentions and implications * Move removal of kernel_map_pages() from patch 1 to patch 2, per David https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201029161902.19272-1-rppt@kernel.org
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201025101555.3057-1-rppt@kernel.org
