ARM: 8502/1: mm: mark section-aligned portion of rodata NX
When rodata is large enough that it crosses a section boundary after the kernel text, mark the rest NX. This is as close to full NX of rodata as we can get without splitting page tables or doing section alignment via CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA. When the config is: CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set Before: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80a00000 9M ro x SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD After: ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80700000 6M ro x SHD 0x80700000-0x80a00000 3M ro NX SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
