Subject: [PATCH v3] x86/mm: warn on W+x mappings

Warn on any residual W+x mappings after setting NX
if DEBUG_WX is enabled.  Introduce a separate
X86_PTDUMP_CORE config that enables the code for
dumping the page tables without enabling the debugfs
interface, so that DEBUG_WX can be enabled without
exposing the debugfs interface.  Switch EFI_PGT_DUMP
to using X86_PTDUMP_CORE so that it also does not require
enabling the debugfs interface.

On success:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.

On failure:

x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, 171 W+X pages found.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Smalley <sds@...ho.nsa.gov>
---
v3 enables the checks on 32-bit if NX is supported, and also
makes DEBUG_WX depend on DEBUG_RODATA since both the NX marking
and the checking occurs from mark_rodata_ro().
