[PATCH RFC v10 15/22] arm64: kpkeys: Implement arch_supports_kpkeys_early()
From: Kevin Brodsky
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 11:19:53 EST
We need to check if the kpkeys_hardened_pgtables feature is going to
be enabled very early during boot, to decide how to set up the
linear map and how to allocate early page tables. This happens even
before boot CPU features are detected.
Implement the arch_supports_kpkeys_early() helper by directly
checking if the boot CPU supports POE, if it is called before boot
CPU features are detected. It may also be called later, in which
case we simply check the POE feature.
