[PATCH 4.9 031/101] arm64: kpti: Use early_param for kpti= command-line option

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>

commit b5b7dd647f2d21b93f734ce890671cd908e69b0a upstream.

We inspect __kpti_forced early on as part of the cpufeature enable
callback which remaps the swapper page table using non-global entries.

Ensure that __kpti_forced has been updated to reflect the kpti=
command-line option before we start using it.
