[PATCH v5 38/39] arm64: mm: omit redundant remap of kernel image

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at google.com
Fri Nov 24 02:19:18 PST 2023


From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>

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.
