[PATCH v6 7/9] arm64: mm: omit redundant remap of kernel image

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at kernel.org
Fri Jul 1 06:04:42 PDT 2022


Now that the early kernel mapping is created with all the right
attributes and segment boundaries, there is no longer a need to recreate
it and switch to it. This also means we no longer have to copy the kasan
shadow or some parts of the fixmap from one set of page tables to the
other.
