[PATCHv8 0/2] Better page protections for arm64

[Laura Abbott]

Hi,

This should be the final version of the series to add stricter page
protections for arm64. The goal is to have text be RO/X and everything
else be RW/NX.

v8: Minor tweaks, adding acks

[PATCHv8 1/2] arm64: use fixmap for text patching

[Laura Abbott]

When kernel text is marked as read only, it cannot be modified directly.
Use a fixmap to modify the text instead in a similar manner to
x86 and arm.

[PATCHv8 2/2] arm64: add better page protections to arm64

[Laura Abbott]

Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm.
This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes
of exploits. The current method:

- Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest
  section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped
- Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should
  not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary
- When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to
  RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB)
- If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set
  read only.
