Refer old discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200422152656.GF676@willie-the-truck/T/#m802eaf33efd6f8d575939d157301b35ac0d4a64f
And https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/35

This series refactors CONFIG_DEBUG_WX for the 5 architectures
implementing CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP

First rename stuff in ARM which uses similar names while not
implementing CONFIG_GENERIC_PTDUMP.

Then define a generic version of debug_checkwx() that calls
ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set. Call it immediately
after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of calling it at the end of
every mark_rodata_ro().

Then implement a debugfs attribute that can be used to trigger
a W^X test at anytime and regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_WX

Christophe Leroy (4):
  arm: ptdump: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_WX to CONFIG_ARM_DEBUG_WX
  arm64, powerpc, riscv, s390, x86: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX
  powerpc,s390: Define ptdump_check_wx() regardless of CONFIG_DEBUG_WX
  ptdump: add check_wx_pages debugfs attribute
