Nitpick: could write this in 1-2 lines.


True, I can do that in 1 line.

ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO implies ARM64_HAS_PAN which implies SCTLR_EL1.SPAN
is 0 at run-time. Is this to cope with the case of being called prior to
cpu_enable_pan()?


Yes, the issue I can into is that for cpufeatures, .cpu_enable() callbacks are called inside stop_machine() which obviously might_sleep and so attempts to check whether user_access is on. But for features that get enabled before PAN, the PAN bit will be set.

Thanks,

Julien
