[PATCH] arm64: remove page granularity limitation from KFENCE

From: Liu Shixin
Date: Sat Sep 18 2021 - 04:10:40 EST


Currently if KFENCE is enabled in arm64, the entire linear map will be
mapped at page granularity which seems overkilled. Actually only the
kfence pool requires to be mapped at page granularity. We can remove the
restriction from KFENCE and force the linear mapping of the kfence pool
at page granularity later in arch_kfence_init_pool().
