[patch 028/108] mm/mmap.c: mark protection_map as __ro_after_init

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Daniel Micay <danielmicay@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/mmap.c: mark protection_map as __ro_after_init

The protection map is only modified by per-arch init code so it can be
protected from writes after the init code runs.

This change was extracted from PaX where it's part of KERNEXEC.
