[PATCH 2/3] x86: Move CPU feature test out of uaccess region

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch is a pre-requisite for enabling KASAN bitops instrumentation:
moves boot_cpu_has feature test out of the uaccess region, as
boot_cpu_has uses test_bit. With instrumentation, the KASAN check would
otherwise be flagged by objtool.

This approach is preferred over adding the explicit kasan_check_*
functions to the uaccess whitelist of objtool, as the case here appears
to be the only one.
