[PATCH v4 4/4] riscv: Map the kernel with correct permissions the first time

Alexandre Ghiti alex at ghiti.fr
Fri Jun 4 04:49:50 PDT 2021


For 64b kernels, we map all the kernel with write and execute permissions
and afterwards remove writability from text and executability from data.

For 32b kernels, the kernel mapping resides in the linear mapping, so we
map all the linear mapping as writable and executable and afterwards we
remove those properties for unused memory and kernel mapping as
described above.

Change this behavior to directly map the kernel with correct permissions
and avoid going through the whole mapping to fix the permissions.

At the same time, this fixes an issue introduced by commit 2bfc6cd81bd1
("riscv: Move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping") as reported
here https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/issues/17.
