[RFC PATCH 1/2] modules: Make module_enable_x() independant of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Feb 03 2022 - 15:23:32 EST


module_enable_x() has nothing to do with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
allthough by coincidence architectures who need module_enable_x() are
selection CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX.

Enable module_enable_x() for everyone everytime. If an architecture
already has module text set executable, it's a no-op.

Only check end boundary if CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set, and
make sure we entirely get the last page when the boundary is not
aligned. When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not selected, it is not
a big deal to have the start of data as executable.
