[PATCH v12 14/39] arm64/mm: Map pages for guarded control stack

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Wed Aug 28 16:27:30 PDT 2024


Map pages flagged as being part of a GCS as such rather than using the
full set of generic VM flags.

This is done using a conditional rather than extending the size of
protection_map since that would make for a very sparse array.
