[PATCH 4.14 26/46] Documentation: Document arm64 kpti control

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

 



From: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@xxxxxxx>

commit de19055564c8f8f9d366f8db3395836da0b2176c upstream.

For a while Arm64 has been capable of force enabling
or disabling the kpti mitigations. Lets make sure the
documentation reflects that.
