It's just a proposal to demonstrate the idea, so some code might look ugly. > And it's only build-tested. [Sorry for loong delay.] The patch works for me for legacy boot. But it breaks EFI boot with 5-level paging. And I struggle to understand why. What I see is many page faults at mm/kasan/kasan.c:758 -- "DEFINE_ASAN_LOAD_STORE(4)". Handling one of them I get double-fault at arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S:298 -- "pushq %r14", which ends up with triple fault. Any ideas?
