Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/9] arm64: Enable the execmem ROX cache for module text
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 15:53:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260822135323.795946-17-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260822135323.795946-11-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Wire up the existing support for the execmem ROX cache on arm64, so that
it will be used for module .text and .init.text regions. This will be
relied upon by a subsequent patch in order to allocate those regions
from a single chunk of memory.
