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 it prints this to the kernel log:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
On failure it prints a warning and a count of the failed pages:

[ Improved the Kconfig help text and made the new option default-y
if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y, because it already found buggy mappings,
so we really want people to have this on by default. ]

+ Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
+
+ This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
+ W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
+
+ Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
+
+ x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
+
+ or like this, if the check failed:
+
+ x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
+
+ Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
+ still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
+ themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
+ of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
+
+ There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
+ once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
