[PATCH 3/5] RISC-V: Enforce protections for kernel sections early

[Atish Patra]

Currently, all memblocks are mapped with PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC and the strict
permissions are only enforced after /init starts. This leaves the kernel
vulnerable from possible buggy built-in modules.

Apply permissions to individual sections as early as possible.
