Ard Biesheuvel 27f2b9fcdd arm64/mm: Avoid ID mapping of kpti flag if it is no longer needed
arm64_use_ng_mappings will be set to 'true' by the early boot code if it
decides to use non-global (nG) attributes for all kernel mappings,
typically when enabling KASLR on a system that does not implement E0PD.

In this case, the G-to-nG update routines are never called, and so there
is no reason to create the writable mapping of the associated status
flag in the ID map.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
