Subject: arm64: idmap: Use "awx" flags for .idmap.text .pushsection directives
To: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cc: mark.brown@xxxxxxxxxx, ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx, marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx, will.deacon@xxxxxxx
Message-ID: <20180403110923.43575-28-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>
commit 439e70e27a51 upstream.
The identity map is mapped as both writeable and executable by the
SWAPPER_MM_MMUFLAGS and this is relied upon by the kpti code to manage
a synchronisation flag. Update the .pushsection flags to reflect the
actual mapping attributes.
