Subject: [PATCH 0/7] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel protection and implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32

This patch set implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

It superseeds the previous patch set identified "Fix kernel protection
and implement CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32"

This set is based on Balbir Singh <bsingharora@...il.com> set identified
"Enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX" and applies on top of it.

At the end we take the opportunity to get rid of some unneccessary/outdated
fixmap stuff.

Christophe Leroy (7):
  powerpc/mm: rename map_page() to map_kernel_page() on PPC32
  powerpc/mm: Ensure change_page_attr() doesn't invalidate pinned TLBs
  powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on
    PPC32
  powerpc/mm: Implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32
  powerpc/mm: declare some local functions static
  powerpc/mm: remove __this_fixmap_does_not_exist()
  powerpc/mm: Simplify __set_fixmap()
