lkdtm: Disable CFI checking for perms functions
[ Upstream commit fb28a8862dc4b5bf8e44578338f35d9c6c68339d ]
The EXEC_RODATA test plays a lot of tricks to live in the .rodata section,
and once again ran into objtool's (completely reasonable) assumptions
that executable code should live in an executable section. However, this
manifested only under CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, as one of the .cfi_sites was
pointing into the .rodata section.
Since we're testing non-CFI execution properties in perms.c (and
rodata.c), we can disable CFI for the involved functions, and remove the
CFI arguments from rodata.c entirely.
