The main purpose of this patch series is changing the kernel mapping permission
, make sure that code is not writeable, data is not executable, and read-only
data is neither writable nor executable.

This patch series also supports the relevant implementations such as
ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY, ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP,
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and DEBUG_WX.

Changes in v2:
- Use _data to specify the start of data section with write permission.
- Change ftrace patch text implementaion.
- Separate DEBUG_WX patch to another patchset.

riscv: add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY support
riscv: add ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP support
riscv: add ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
riscv: move exception table immediately after RO_DATA
riscv: add alignment for text, rodata and data sections
riscv: add STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support
