The head text section (i.e. _start, secondary_start_sbi, etc) and the
init section fall under same page table level-1 mapping.
Currently, the runtime CPU hotplug is broken because we are marking
init section as non-executable which in-turn marks head text section
as non-executable.
Further investigating other architectures, it seems marking the init
section as non-executable is redundant because the init section pages
are anyway poisoned and freed.
To fix broken runtime CPU hotplug, we simply remove the code marking
the init section as non-executable.

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.
