[PATCH 8/8] arm64: remove CONFIG_VMAP_STACK checks from entry code

Mon Jul 7 09:01:08 PDT 2025


With VMAP_STACK now always enabled on arm64, remove all CONFIG_VMAP_STACK
conditionals from entry handling in arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c and
arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S.

This change unconditionally includes the bad stack handling and overflow
detection logic, simplifying the code and reflecting the mandatory use of
VMAP_STACK for all arm64 kernel builds.
