Would this be a good place to mention that we enable it when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE is enabled and we have a valid kaslr_offset? I found this somewhat surprising, also it's unrelated to the vulnerability.

Hi, I just realized I replied to this off-list.

Maybe, but I tend to think since this command line forces it on/off regardless of RANDOMIZE_BASE, that a better place to mention that RANDOMIZE_BASE forces kpti on is the Kconfig option.

True, kpti= takes precedence, in both ways. Disregard my comment then, this is indeed not the right place to mention RANDOMIZE_BASE.

For a while Arm64 has been capable of force enabling or disabling the kpti mitigations. Lets make sure the documentation reflects that.
