[PATCH v3 0/5] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel protection and implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Aug 02 2017 - 09:51:05 EST


This patch set implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

At the end we take the opportunity to get rid of some unneccessary/outdated
fixmap stuff.

Changes from v2 to v3:
* Rebased on latest linux-powerpc/merge branch
* Function remap_init_ram() renamed mark_initmem_nx() to match new
PPC64 implementation

Changes from v1 to v2:
* Rebased on latest linux-next following including of STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for PPC64
* Removed from the serie the two patches already applied.
