Michael Ellerman 029d9252b1 powerpc/mm: Mark __init memory no-execute when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y
Currently even with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX we leave the __init text marked
executable after init, which is bad.

Add a hook to mark it NX (no-execute) before we free it, and implement
it for radix and hash.

Note that we use __init_end as the end address, not _einittext,
because overlaps_kernel_text() uses __init_end, because there are
additional executable sections other than .init.text between
__init_begin and __init_end.

Tested on radix and hash with:

  0:mon> p $__init_begin
  *** 400 exception occurred

Fixes: 1e0fc9d1eb ("powerpc/Kconfig: Enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for some configs")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
