This looks good to me now, so FWIW: Reviewed-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> There is one thing that I thing we should improve as a subsequent cleanup, but I don't think that should block this as-is. > +#define KFENCE_SKIP_ARCH_FAULT_HANDLER "el1_sync" IIUC, the core kfence code is using this to figure out where to trace from when there's a fault taken on an access to a protected page. It would be better if the arch code passed the exception's pt_regs into the kfence fault handler, and the kfence began the trace began from there. That would also allow for dumping the exception registers which can help with debugging (e.g. figuring out how the address was derived when it's calculated from multiple source registers). That would also be a bit more robust to changes in an architectures' exception handling code. Thanks, Mark.
