KVM: arm64: Prevent kmemleak from accessing pKVM memory
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit a7259df ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method
private") changed the API using which memory is reserved for the pKVM
hypervisor. However, memblock_phys_alloc() differs from the original API in
terms of kmemleak semantics -- the old one didn't report the reserved
regions to kmemleak while the new one does. Unfortunately, when protected
KVM is enabled, all kernel accesses to pKVM-private memory result in a
fatal exception, which can now happen because of kmemleak scans:

Fix this by explicitly excluding the hypervisor's memory pool from
kmemleak like we already do for the hyp BSS.
