When we added KFENCE support for arm64, we intended that it would
force the entire linear map to be mapped at page granularity, but we
only enforced this in arch_add_memory() and not in map_mem(), so
memory mapped at boot time can be mapped at a larger granularity.
When booting a kernel with KFENCE=y and RODATA_FULL=n, this results in
the following WARNING at boot:

README
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.
