After the following powerpc commits, all calls to set_memory_...()
functions check returned value.
- Commit 8f17bd2f4196 ("powerpc: Handle error in mark_rodata_ro() and
mark_initmem_nx()")
- Commit f7f18e30b4 ("powerpc/kprobes: Handle error returned by
set_memory_rox()")
- Commit 009cf11d4aab ("powerpc: Don't ignore errors from
set_memory_{n}p() in __kernel_map_pages()")
- Commit 9cbacb834b ("powerpc: Don't ignore errors from
set_memory_{n}p() in __kernel_map_pages()")
- Commit 78cb0945f7 ("powerpc: Handle error in mark_rodata_ro() and
mark_initmem_nx()")
All calls in core parts of the kernel also always check returned value,
can be looked at with following query:
$ git grep -w -e set_memory_ro -e set_memory_rw -e set_memory_x -e set_memory_nx -e set_memory_rox `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v arch | grep /`
It is now possible to flag those functions with __must_check to make
sure no new unchecked call it added.

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 reStructuredText 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.
