Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] kasan: Move generic KASAN page tables out of BSS too
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:11:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604151151.150377-9-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604151151.150377-7-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Make sure that all KASAN page tables are emitted into the .pgtbl section
(provided that the arch has one - otherwise, fall back to page aligned
BSS)
This is needed because BSS itself is no longer accessible via the linear
map on arm64.
