All the executable and read-only parts of an XIP kernel reside in NOR
flash which is read-only when it is in random access mode, so
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX basically has zero value for XIP. And since
NOR flash space is usually quite limited, any option you can avoid
enabling for an XIP kernel should not be enabled.

> But then I'm still blocked with the overlaps, any idea ?

As I've said, flash space is very limited. In a standard RISC-V case
it is 16 MB, and the linker basically assumes we split it 50/50
between RO and RW sections.
Then the first 8 MB of the NOR flash are mapped right before the
standard RAM mapping to create virtually contiguous space of:
* RO/X sections still residing in flash, and
* RW sections that have been copied to the beginning of RAM for them
to actually be RW.

So the idea is simple: you have to slim down your kernel so that RO/X
sections occupy approximately 300K less than they do now :)

Thanks again for the review and for the interest taken,

Best regards,
Vitaly
