At a thought I think the RO/NX persmission are working as expected and
something in the suspend code is writing or executing from where it
shouldn't. I hit similar problems when working on RO/NX support for
arm64.

Looking in arch/arm/mach-shmobile/headsmp.S, it looks like
shmobile_boot_fn, shmobile_boot_arg, shmobile_smp_mpdir, shmobile_smp_fn,
and shmobile_smp_arg are ending up in the the text section which is going
to be read_only. Assuming I understand the code flow, it looks like those
are modified at suspend time which isn't going to work. I would say just
throw those objects in the .data section but I notice shmobile_boot_size
is there as well which seems to be calculated based off of the boot
vector so you might need to do some re-working there.

Thanks,
Laura
