Subject: [PATCH 3/3] arm64: Unconditionally enable EPAN support
Date: Wed,  7 Jan 2026 18:07:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260107180701.2858276-4-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260107180701.2858276-1-maz@kernel.org>

While FEAT_PAN3 is pretty recent, having it permanently enabled costs
exactly nothing, and does help with exec-only mappings on these fancy
ARMv9.2 machines that are rumoured to exist.
