Xose Vazquez Perez reported boot warnings when NX is disabled on the kernel command line. __early_set_fixmap() triggers this warning: attempted to set unsupported pgprot: 8000000000000163 bits: 8000000000000000 supported: 7fffffffffffffff WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:537 __early_set_fixmap+0xa2/0xff because it uses __default_kernel_pte_mask to mask out unsupported bits. Use __supported_pte_mask instead. Disabling NX on the command line also triggers the NX warning in the page table mapping check: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:262 note_page+0x2ae/0x650 .... Make the warning depend on NX set in __supported_pte_mask.

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.
