[PATCH v2 06/12] mm/execmem: introduce execmem_data_alloc()

[Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>]

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Data related to code allocations, such as module data section, need to
comply with architecture constraints for its placement and its
allocation right now was done using execmem_text_alloc().

Create a dedicated API for allocating data related to code allocations
and allow architectures to define address ranges for data allocations.

Since currently this is only relevant for powerpc variants that use the
VMALLOC address space for module data allocations, automatically reuse
address ranges defined for text unless address range for data is
explicitly defined by an architecture.

With separation of code and data allocations, data sections of the
modules are now mapped as PAGE_KERNEL rather than PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC which
was a default on many architectures.
