[PATCH 3/3] arm64: Enable control of pointer authentication using early param

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

 



Add support to control turning off the pointer authentication
using a kernel command line early param.
This will help control pointer authentication feature for both kernel
and userspace without kernel changes.
