Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] kfence: Alloc kfence_pool after system startup
Date:   Thu,  3 Mar 2022 11:15:05 +0800

KFENCE aims at production environments, but it does not allow enabling
after system startup because kfence_pool only alloc pages from memblock.
Consider the following production scene:
At first, for performance considerations, production machines do not
enable KFENCE.
However, after running for a while, the kernel is suspected to have
memory errors. (e.g., a sibling machine crashed.)
So other production machines need to enable KFENCE, but it's hard for
them to reboot.

Allow enabling KFENCE by alloc pages after system startup, even if
KFENCE is not enabled during booting.

This patch is similar to what the KFENCE(early version) do on ARM64.
Instead of alloc_pages(), we'd prefer alloc_contig_pages() to get exact
number of pages.
I'm not sure about the impact of breaking __ro_after_init. I've tested
with hackbench, and it seems no performance regression.
Or any problem about security?
