[PATCH v2 9/9] arm64: idmap: Use "awx" flags for .idmap.text .pushsection directives

Will Deacon will.deacon at arm.com
Mon Jan 29 04:00:00 PST 2018


The identity map is mapped as both writeable and executable by the
SWAPPER_MM_MMUFLAGS and this is relied upon by the kpti code to manage
a synchronisation flag. Update the .pushsection flags to reflect the
actual mapping attributes.
