Subject: [PATCH 18/18] arm64: Kconfig: Add CONFIG_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 18:22:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1510942921-12564-19-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1510942921-12564-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com>

Add a Kconfig entry to control use of the entry trampoline, which allows
us to unmap the kernel whilst running in userspace and improve the
robustness of KASLR.
