Ard Biesheuvel 325f5585ec arm64/acpi: disallow writeable AML opregion mapping for EFI code regions
Given that the contents of EFI runtime code and data regions are
provided by the firmware, as well as the DSDT, it is not unimaginable
that AML code exists today that accesses EFI runtime code regions using
a SystemMemory OpRegion. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that,
but since we take great care to ensure that executable code is never
mapped writeable and executable at the same time, we should not permit
AML to create writable mapping.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
