[PATCH v3 24/27] x86/mm: Make the x86 GOT read-only

Thomas Garnier
2018-05-23T19:54:18Z

The GOT is changed during early boot when relocations are applied. Make
it read-only directly. This table exists only for PIE binary.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extended the
KASLR randomization range below the -2G memory limit.
