[ Upstream commit 98d0219e043e09013e883eacde3b93e0b2bf944d ]

If a relocatable kernel is loaded at an address that is not 2MB aligned
and told not to relocate to zero, the kernel can crash due to
mark_rodata_ro() incorrectly changing some read-write data to read-only.

Scenarios where the misalignment can occur are when the kernel is
loaded by kdump or using the RELOCATABLE_TEST config option.

Example crash with the kernel loaded at 5MB:

  Run /sbin/init as init process

This happens because mark_rodata_ro() tries to change permissions on the
range _stext..__end_rodata, but _stext sits in the middle of the 2MB
page from 4MB to 6MB:

  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000200000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000200000-0x0000000000400000 with 2.00 MiB pages
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000400000-0x0000000002400000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)

The logic that changes the permissions assumes the linear mapping was
split correctly at boot, so it marks the entire 2MB page read-only. That
leads to the write fault above.

To fix it, the boot time mapping logic needs to consider that if the
kernel is running at a non-zero address then _stext is a boundary where
it must split the mapping.

That leads to the mapping being split correctly, allowing the rodata
permission change to take happen correctly, with no spillover:

  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000200000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000200000-0x0000000000400000 with 2.00 MiB pages
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000400000-0x0000000000500000 with 64.0 KiB pages
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000500000-0x0000000000600000 with 64.0 KiB pages (exec)
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000600000-0x0000000002400000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)

If the kernel is loaded at a 2MB aligned address, the mapping continues
to use 2MB pages as before:

  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000200000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000200000-0x0000000000400000 with 2.00 MiB pages
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000000400000-0x0000000002c00000 with 2.00 MiB pages (exec)
  radix-mmu: Mapped 0x0000000002c00000-0x0000000100000000 with 2.00 MiB pages
