Subject: [PATCH] lkdtm: Fix content of section containing
lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing()
On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.
Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:
Disassembly of section .rodata:
0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0
Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.
Disassembly of section .rodata:
0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 4e 80 00 20 blr
Fixes: e9e08a07385e ("lkdtm: support llvm-objcopy")
