Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mmu: Place guard page after mapping of kernel image
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 18:03:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1501175035-32460-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)

The vast majority of virtual allocations in the vmalloc region are followed
by a guard page, which can help to avoid overruning on vma into another,
which may map a read-sensitive device.

This patch adds a guard page to the end of the kernel image mapping (i.e.
following the data/bss segments).
