Hi,

This is v6 of the series to add stricter page protections for arm64.
The goal is to have text be RO/NX and everything else be RW/NX.
The biggest change here is the addition of ioremap_exec for EFI
services. The series did its job and caught EFI services trying to
use regular RAM for code purposes.

Laura Abbott (8):
  arm64: Treat handle_arch_irq as a function pointer
  arm64: Switch to adrp for loading the stub vectors
  arm64: Move cpu_resume into the text section
  arm64: Move some head.text functions to executable section
  arm64: Factor out fixmap initialiation from ioremap
  arm64: use fixmap for text patching when text is RO
  arm64: efi: Use ioremap_exec for code sections
  arm64: add better page protections to arm64
