[PATCH] Revert "x86: kmsan: sync metadata pages on page fault"

From: Alexander Potapenko
Date: Wed Jan 11 2023 - 05:18:51 EST


This reverts commit 3f1e2c7a9099c1ed32c67f12cdf432ba782cf51f.

As noticed by Qun-Wei Lin, arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in
arch/x86/mm/fault.c is only used with CONFIG_X86_32, whereas KMSAN is
only supported on x86_64, where this code is not compiled.

The patch in question dates back to downstream KMSAN branch based on
v5.8-rc5, it sneaked into upstream unnoticed in v6.1.
