The kernel mapping is setup in two stages: in the decompressor map all pages with RWX permissions, and within the kernel change all mappings to their final permissions, where most of the mappings are changed from RWX to RWNX. Change this and map all pages RWNX from the beginning, however without enabling noexec via control register modification. This means that effectively all pages are used with RWX permissions like before. When the final permissions have been applied to the kernel mapping enable noexec via control register modification. This allows to remove quite a bit of non-obvious code. Reviewed-by: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com>
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.
