Hi, This is an RFC to allow CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX to be used on ARM. The current config description from x86 describes it best: This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect against certain classes of kernel exploits. ARM was missing a few functions to modify the page tables so those have been added. I believe modules are always mapped with pages so changing them at map time should be acceptable. Comments/concerns are appreciated.
