From f102131c842d1e1d95bc7b818ab93944195da7e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:40:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "arm64: mm: Unmap kernel data/bss entirely from the linear map" This reverts commit 63e0b6a5b6934d6a919d1c65ea185303200a1874. Unmapping the kernel '.bss' appears to break KVM initialisation on some devices, breaking the boot on popular platforms such as RaspberryPi3 and 4. Revert this change for now so that we can revisit it in future.
