Subject: [PATCH v3 08/30] arm64: kernel: drop unnecessary PoC cache clean+invalidate
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 11:48:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220411094824.4176877-9-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220411094824.4176877-1-ardb@kernel.org>
Some early boot code runs before the virtual placement of the kernel is
finalized, and we used to go back to the very start and recreate the ID
map along with the page tables describing the virtual kernel mapping,
and this involved setting some global variables with the caches off.
In order to ensure that global state created by the KASLR code is not
corrupted by the cache invalidation that occurs in that case, we needed
to clean those global variables to the PoC explicitly.
This is no longer needed now that the ID map is created only once (and
the associated global variable updates are no longer repeated). So drop
the cache maintenance that is no longer necessary.
