[PATCH 2/2] arm64: remove page granularity limitation from KFENCE

From: Jisheng Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-24 09:27:07
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

KFENCE requires linear map to be mapped at page granularity, so that
it is possible to protect/unprotect single pages in the KFENCE pool.
Currently if KFENCE is enabled, arm64 maps all pages at page
granularity, it seems overkilled. In fact, we only need to map the
pages in KFENCE pool itself at page granularity. We acchieve this goal
by allocating KFENCE pool before paging_init() so we know the KFENCE
pool address, then we take care to map the pool at page granularity
during map_mem().
