There are a few code sections that are emitted into the kernel's executable .text segment simply because they contain code, but are actually never executed via this mapping, so they can happily live in a region that gets mapped without executable permissions, reducing the risk of being gadgetized. Note that the kexec and hibernate region contents are always copied into a fresh page, and so there is no need to align them as long as the overall size of each is below 4 KiB.

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.
