Subject: arm64: mm: use correct mapping granularity under DEBUG_RODATA

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4fee9f364b9b99f76732f2a6fd6df679a237fa74 upstream.

When booting a 64k pages kernel that is built with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA
and resides at an offset that is not a multiple of 512 MB, the rounding
that occurs in __map_memblock() and fixup_executable() results in
incorrect regions being mapped.

The following snippet from /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables shows
how, when the kernel is loaded 2 MB above the base of DRAM at 0x40000000,
the first 2 MB of memory (which may be inaccessible from non-secure EL1
or just reserved by the firmware) is inadvertently mapped into the end of
the module region.

  ---[ Modules start ]---
  0xfffffdffffe00000-0xfffffe0000000000     2M RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  ---[ Modules end ]---
  ---[ Kernel Mapping ]---
  0xfffffe0000000000-0xfffffe0000090000   576K RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  0xfffffe0000090000-0xfffffe0000200000  1472K ro x  ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  0xfffffe0000200000-0xfffffe0000800000     6M ro x  ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  0xfffffe0000800000-0xfffffe0000810000    64K ro x  ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  0xfffffe0000810000-0xfffffe0000a00000  1984K RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL
  0xfffffe0000a00000-0xfffffe00ffe00000  4084M RW NX ... UXN MEM/NORMAL

The same issue is likely to occur on 16k pages kernels whose load
address is not a multiple of 32 MB (i.e., SECTION_SIZE). So round to
SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE instead of SECTION_SIZE.
