Re: [RESEND PATCH v4 0/6] arm64/mm: Move swapper_pg_dir to rodata

[James Morse]

Hi Jun,

(I'm a bit confused about which version of this series I should be looking at.
I have a v4, and two v4-resends, all of which are different. Please only mark
something as 'resend' if it is exactly the same!)

There are some tidier ways of fixing this. The kasan init code is also C code
that is run before kasan is initialized. Kbuild is told not to let KASAN touch
it with 'KASAN_SANITISE_filename.o := n'.

But, in this case you're only calling into C code from pre-kasan head.S so you
can use the same helper to set init_mm.pgd. I don't think this is worth the
effort, we can just do the store in assembly. (more in patch 3).


Thanks,

James
