[PATCH v3 16/20] arm64: entry: Add fake CPU feature for unmapping the kernel at EL0

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Wed Dec 6 04:35:35 PST 2017


Allow explicit disabling of the entry trampoline on the kernel command
line (kpti=off) by adding a fake CPU feature (ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0)
that can be used to toggle the alternative sequences in our entry code and
avoid use of the trampoline altogether if desired. This also allows us to
make use of a static key in arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0().
