Subject: [PATCH RFC v9 18/25] arm64: kpkeys: Ensure the linear map can be modified
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:09:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-kpkeys-v9-18-743ad31b2c8f@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-kpkeys-v9-0-743ad31b2c8f@arm.com>

When the kpkeys_hardened_pgtables feature is enabled, we need to be
able to modify attributes (specifically the pkey/POIndex) in the
linear map at page granularity.

Add the appropriate check to can_set_direct_map() on the same
principle as rodata_full and other features.

kpkeys_hardened_pgtables currently requires the linear map to be
fully PTE-mapped, so we also need to ensure that force_pte_mapping()
returns true, like for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

Both functions can be called very early, before POE is actually
detected, so the early_enabled() helper is used.
