v4 cover letter: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2019-October/198268.html v3 cover letter: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2019-October/198023.html Changes since v4: [1/5]: Addressed review comments from Michael Ellerman (thanks!) [4/5]: make ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX depend on ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to simplify things and avoid STRICT_MODULE_RWX being *on by default* in cases where STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable* [5/5]: split skiroot_defconfig changes out into its own patch The whole Kconfig situation is really weird and confusing, I believe the correct resolution is to change arch/Kconfig but the consequences are so minor that I don't think it's worth it, especially given that I expect powerpc to have mandatory strict RWX Soon(tm).
