Alexander noted that KFENCE only expects to handle faults from invalid page table entries (i.e. translation faults), but arm64's fault handling logic will call kfence_handle_page_fault() for other types of faults, including alignment faults caused by unaligned atomics. This has the unfortunate property of causing those other faults to be reported as "KFENCE: use-after-free", which is misleading and hinders debugging. Fix this by only forwarding unhandled translation faults to the KFENCE code, similar to what x86 does already. Alexander has verified that this passes all the tests in the KFENCE test suite and avoids bogus reports on misaligned atomics.

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.
