commitd92b54570dupstream. On x86, until PAT is initialized, WC translates into UC-. Since we calculate and store pgprot_writecombine(PAGE_KERNEL) when earlycon is initialized, this means we actually use UC- mappings instead of WC mappings, which makes scrolling very slow. Instead store a boolean flag to indicate whether we want to use writeback or write-combine mappings, and recalculate the actual pgprot_t we need on every mapping. Once PAT is initialized, we will start using write-combine mappings, which speeds up the scrolling considerably.

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.
