    arm64: bti: Document behaviour for dynamically linked binaries · 5d1b631c
    Mark Brown authored
    For dynamically linked binaries the interpreter is responsible for setting
    PROT_BTI on everything except itself. The dynamic linker needs to be aware
    of PROT_BTI, for example in order to avoid dropping that when marking
    executable pages read only after doing relocations, and doing everything
    in userspace ensures that we don't get any issues due to divergences in
    behaviour between the kernel and dynamic linker within a single executable.
    Add a comment indicating that this is intentional to the code to help
    people trying to understand what's going on.
