Haoran Jiang
From: Haoran Jiang <jianghaoran@kylinos.cn>
Enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX to enforce strict memory permissions
on modules,making the code region non-writable, the data region
non-executable, and the read-only data region both non-writable
and non-executable.Temporarily modify code section read/write
permissions via set_memory() API.
Signed-off-by: Haoran Jiang <jianghaoran@kylinos.cn>
---
v2:
Change the method of modifying page table permissions from patch_map to set_memory() API.
v3:
Modify commit description.
v4:
Add text_mutex lock in the larch_insn_write call path and
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is enabled by default.
UB test on the 3C6000 server shows no significant performance impact.

I think your tests are incomplete. Performance test is just a very
basic test, you should make sure all dynamic code modification
mechanisms are correct.
At least these should be verified one by one: jump label, kgdb, bpf,
ftrace, kprobes, uprobes....
You have modified ftrace, but not the best method that Ihae suggested in V3.
You completely ignore my suggestion about kprobes in V3.
For KGDB, you should use text_mutex to protect copy_to_kernel_nofault().
For uprobes, I have no idea, maybe @Tiezhu can give some suggestions.
