Write-combining memory allows speculative reads by CPU.
ggtt->error_capture is WC mapped to CPU, so CPU/MMU can try
to prefetch memory beyond the error_capture, ie it tries
to read memory pointed by next PTE in GGTT.
If this PTE points to invalid address DMAR errors will occur.
This behaviour was observed on ADL and RPL platforms.
To avoid it, guard scratch page should be added after error_capture.
The patch fixes the most annoying issue with error capture but
since WC reads are used also in other places there is a risk similar
problem can affect them as well.
v2:
- modified commit message (I hope the diagnosis is correct),
- added bug checks to ensure scratch is initialized on gen3 platforms.
CI produces strange stacktrace for it suggesting scratch[0] is NULL,
to be removed after resolving the issue with gen3 platforms.
v3:
- removed bug checks, replaced with gen check.
v4:
- change code for scratch page insertion to support all platforms,
- add info in commit message there could be more similar issues
v5:
- check for nop_clear_range instead of gen8 (Tvrtko),
- re-insert scratch pages on resume (Tvrtko)
v6:
- use scratch_range callback to set scratch pages (Chris)

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.
